Different types of tissues provide structural support to the body. The primary tissues involved in support include connective tissue, bone tissue, and cartilage.
Connective Tissue: This tissue type provides a framework that supports and binds other tissues. It includes a variety of subtypes like loose connective tissue, dense connective tissue, and specialized connective tissues such as adipose tissue. Bone Tissue: Bone is a hard, dense connective tissue that forms the skeleton. It provides structural support and protection for the body’s organs. Cartilage: Cartilage is a flexible yet strong tissue found in various parts of the body, including joints, the rib cage, and the respiratory tract. It provides cushioning and support where flexibility is required.
