Hey there!

A supportive tissue is a type of connective tissue in which the matrix is hard and rigid due to the presence of inorganic salts. The matrix encloses few cells. Adding on, fibres may be present or absent. It is also known as skeletal tissue since it forms the internal supporting framework of the body.


In plants; In plant anatomy, tissues are categorized broadly into three tissue systems: the epidermis, the ground tissue, and the vascular tissue. Epidermis - Cells forming the outer surface of the leaves and of the young plant body. Vascular tissue - The primary components of vascular tissue are the xylem and phloem.


In animals; There are four types of animal tissues: epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue and nervous tissues.


In humans; Two major forms of supportive connective tissue, cartilage and bone, allow the body to maintain its posture and protect internal organs.

Thank you.
