ABSTRACT
Isolated organs or tissues are body parts, organs, systems or tissues separated from the body and placed in an artificial nutrient medium similar to blood
plasma in salt composition and osmotic pressure and temporarily retaining their principal functional properties. They are used to study certain aspects of organ activity, elucidate the action of medicinal substances and poisons, provides researchers with convenient biological models that are independent of the systemic influences of the in vivo preparations as well as in a controlled environment without the complications of an intact animal model.This study highlights some of the important application areas of isolated tissue preparation in the study of the possible cause, origin and history of some disease conditions, pharmaceuticals, molecular biology, food science, forensics as well as toxicology.
