SummaryA combined dissection and chemical approach to the problem of determining tissue weights has been described. It allows the exact determination of total muscle mass and supportive tissue weight in a fraction of the time required by the complete dissection approach. It also provides estimates of the total marrow weight and the fresh weight of the connective tissue, which are difficult to obtain in any other manner.
