Connective tissue supports, binds together, and protects tissues and organs of the body. Bone is a type of connective tissue as it contains collagen (a protein fiber) and mineralized matrix (calcium, magnesium, phosphate ions etc.). Epithelial tissue covers body surfaces and lines body cavities. Muscle tissue is responsible for movement. Squamous refers to a shape of cells (flat - like scale) and is not a main tissue type (squamous cells can be part of epithelial tissue).
