What form of tissue provides support and structure for the organs?

There are four fundamental types of tissue.
- Connective tissue is made up of cells that form a connective web to hold body parts together, providing support and structure for the organs.
- Muscle tissue is made up of cells that form muscles and allow the muscles to contract, which make body movement possible.
- Epithelial tissue is made up of cells joined tightly together to form a protective layer around the body (skin) as well as to line some internal cavities and organs of the body.
- Nervous tissue is made up of uniquely specialized cells, neurons, and neuroglia. Neurons transmit signals (messages) between the different parts of the body and neuroglia are connective tissue cells that support the neurons. This tissue allows the body to be able to use the five senses to inform the brain about stimuli it experiences and subsequently reacts accordingly.
