What tissue in an animal organism performs the function of support, protection?

These functions in the body of animals and humans are assigned to the connective and partly muscle tissue. The thing is that bones and tendons belong to connective tissue – it is on this frame that the entire human body relies. The skull and other bones protect the internal organs from mechanical damage. In addition, muscles are also involved in maintaining the position of the body.

Blood and lymph (connective tissues) protect the body from the penetration of foreign agents and pathogens.
