Skeletal Tissue: The vertebrae form the backbone of the tail, providing structural support and flexibility. Muscular Tissue: Muscles surrounding the vertebrae facilitate movement and control. Nervous Tissue: Nerves run along the tail, transmitting signals to and from the brain. Connective Tissue: Connective tissues such as tendons and ligaments provide additional support and stability. Epithelial Tissue: The outer layer is covered by skin, which may have specialized structures such as scales or fur.
