Looks like
The tissues that belong to no one place: skin, fat, fascia, blood, lymph and immune cells, everywhere at once.

Cover the body, store energy, tie it together, carry oxygen and fight infection.
Keeping it well
Sun protection, sleep, food with protein and iron, vaccinations. These tissues show illness early — look at the skin and the blood.
