Support connective tissues

Support connective tissues

Cartilage: A versatile connective tissue that supports body structures. It is avascular and possesses no lymph vessels or nerves.
Bone: Bone is a type of connective tissue that has a supportive and protec­tive function; and also serves as a reservoir for calcium and phosphate.

Functions of Cartilage:
Supporting soft tissues.
Providing a gliding surface at articulations (joints), where two bones meet.
Providing a model for the formation of most of the bones in the body.

Functions of bone:
Provides structural support, giving shape and form to the body.
Provides movement through the insertion of muscles.
Serves as a stored source for calcium and phosphate.
Contains bone marrow (myeloid tissue).
