Passive tissue — including bones, cartilage, fat, blood, and connective tissue — is the lowest level in the body's functional hierarchy. Conventional diagnostic testing primarily measures passive tissue — bones via X-ray, and chemicals and particles in blood via blood tests — but these measurements do not directly explain function. Passive tissue is described as a tertiary effect, meaning it reflects the result of upstream dysfunction rather than the primary source.
