Answer:

"Muscle Biopsy" is the abbreviation for a diagnostic procedure in which a small piece of muscle is removed to be sent to the laboratory for examination and analysis.

Explanation:

The microscopically or biochemically examination of a piece of muscle tissue which is removed from an organism in medicine is called as "muscle biopsy".

There are basically two major methods for performing this diagnostic procedure: A method in which small amount of tissue is taken out as sample by inserting biopsy needle into a muscle or by open biopsy in which muscle tissue is removed by making a small cut in the skin and muscle.

This procedure is helpful in discovering issues related to musculoskeletal, connective, nervous and vascular systems of body. It is known for detecting polymyositis or dermatomyositis known as inflammatory diseases of muscle and polyarteritis nodosa called as connective tissue and blood vessels diseases.
