raw flesh
Exposed bloody muscle
Raw flesh is meat or tissue that hasn't been cooked, preserved, or processed—still in its natural state as it exists on or was recently removed from a living body.
The phrase emphasizes the primal, exposed quality of animal tissue: The wound revealed raw flesh beneath the skin.
It can describe food (sushi is raw flesh) or injuries where skin has been torn away.
