Which of these major tissues function in protection & support?
Connective tissue
Connective tissue, as its name implies, binds the cells and organs of the body together and functions in the protection, support, and integration of all parts of the body.
What animal tissue has a protective function?
Epithelial Tissue
Epithelial Tissue. The covering or protective tissues in the animal body are epithelial tissues. Epithelium covers most organs and cavities within the body. It also forms a barrier to keep different body systems separate.
What type of tissue protects and insulates the body?

Which tissues are called covering or protective tissues?
The covering or protective tissues in the animal body are epithelial tissues. Epithelium covers most organs and cavities within the body. It also forms a barrier to keep different body systems separate.

Connective tissue cells Cell Types: Structural – fibroblasts, chondroblasts, osteoblasts, odontoblasts. Immunological – plasma cell, leukocytes, eosinophils.
How does the cork act as a protective tissue?
The cork cells are dead and compactly packed with no intercellular space. Their cell walls are coated with a waxy substance, suberin, which do not allow water and gases to pass through. Therefore, it protects the plant against mechanical injury and also prevents the loss of water by evaporation.
What are tissues their functions?
Epithelial tissues act as coverings, controlling the movement of materials across their surface. Connective tissue binds the various parts of the body together, providing support and protection. Muscle tissue allows the body to move and nervous tissues functions in communication.
