Several types of tissues exhibit flexibility, primarily due to their unique structural composition:
Connective tissue - Contains extracellular matrix components like collagen and elastin, which provide both strength and elasticity. Muscle tissue - Composed of fibers that can contract and relax, allowing for movement and flexibility. Epithelial tissue - Lines organs and structures, allowing for flexibility and protection. Cartilage - Provides a cushion between bones, allowing for smooth movement.
