I was always told by instructors (and in the books from PADI at least) that in the decompression modeling tissues are theoretical tissues and do not correspond to real human tissues (those that one can name).

However on the UEMIS Zurich computer when you are doing the dive the compartments are named not based on their half time but they actually have human (well animal if you wish) names like CNS (Central Nervous System), skin, muscles, fat, joints.

I think it is misleading however I am wondering which (if any) agencies name the theoretical tissues after real tissues and even more I wonder which manufacturer (except UEMIS that I know) uses real tissue name to describe theoretical tissues.

So which computer uses real tissue names?
