What does tissue contusion mean?

  1. Swelling of the skin

  2. Infection of the skin

  3. Collection of blood under the skin

  4. A type of skin rash

The correct answer is: Collection of blood under the skin

Tissue contusion refers to a condition where there is a collection of blood and fluid under the skin due to a traumatic injury. This is commonly known as a bruise. Option A is incorrect because swelling of the skin is typically not associated with tissue contusions. Option B is also incorrect as an infection of the skin is not a defining characteristic of a tissue contusion. Option D is also incorrect as a contusion is not a type of skin rash.
