Answer
Bone
Structure - It is a hard, inflexible, and porous skeletal tissue well supplied with blood vessels and nerves. The bone matrix has a rigid mass of inorganic salts of calcium and magnesium. The bone cells called osteocytes are arranged in the form of thin circular layers around a central canal. Osteocytes are present in small spaces connected to one another by a system of canals.
Function - Bone gives shape, support, and protection to the body parts.
