in the skeletal system, which are the two main tissues responsible for structural support in the body?

compact bone
ligaments
red bone marrow
spongy bone
yellow bone marrow

Explanation:

To determine the two main tissues for structural support in the skeletal system:

• Compact bone: Dense, provides strength and support.
• Spongy bone: Has a lattice - like structure, also contributes to support and lightens the bone.
• Ligaments: Connect bones, not main structural support tissues of the bone itself.
• Red bone marrow: Involved in blood cell production.
• Yellow bone marrow: Stores fat.

So the two main tissues for structural support are compact bone and spongy bone.

Answer:

A. compact bone, D. spongy bone
