  • However, these nonlinearities and viscoelasticity have not been commonly included in analyses of bulk muscular tissue, at least not in soft tissue support problems within rehabilitation engineering, although these behaviors have been observed.

    Academic text (1996)

Morphology

muscular + tissue

The phrase is directly compositional: 'muscular' means relating to muscles and 'tissue' means a group of cells, so together they denote tissue made of muscle cells. This follows regular English noun-modifier patterns and has clear equivalents in other languages, so a learner who knows both constituents will understand the meaning.

Etymology

Muscular tissue comes from an old image: people thought a moving muscle looked like a small animal under the skin called 'little mouse'. So muscular tissue means the body tissue that makes the body move and give strength.
