flesh
Muscle and fat
Flesh refers to skin (typically of humans) or other soft tissue (typically of animals).
Flesh is also a common metaphor for humankind and its vulnerabilities.
Flesh and blood may designate your blood relatives, the human body, or human nature.
If you flesh out an idea, you add more detail or information about it.
Things appreciatively described as fleshed out have all needed information or features available.
