Tissue in cart single male has filled (4,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bone marrow

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tissue' is the definition.
(bone marrow is a kind of tissue)

'cart single male has filled' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'single' could be 'one' (a single thing - only one) and 'one' is found in the answer.
'male' could be 'm' (common abbreviation) and 'm' is present in the answer.
'cart' could be 'barrow' (barrow is a kind of cart) and 'barrow' is found within the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in' is the link.
