How Do Connective Tissues Contribute to Protection?
Connective tissues support, connect, and separate different types of tissues and organs in the body. They provide structural integrity and protection. For instance, bone tissue, a type of connective tissue, protects vital organs such as the brain (encased in the skull) and the lungs (protected by the ribcage). Moreover, connective tissues like adipose tissue cushion and protect organs from mechanical shock.
