Answer:

Cartilage. Body Fat. Bone.

Cartilage - is a smooth elastic tissue that covers and protects the ends of long bones at the joints and nerves, and is a structural component of many body components.

Adipose tissue or body fat - is a term for loose connective tissue composed of adipocytes (which stores and releases energy). Its main role is to store energy in the form of fat, it also cushions and insulates the body.

Bone tissue - contains cells, fibers and ground substance. Bone tissue has many functions such as storing minerals, providing internal support, protecting vital organs, enabling movement, and providing attachment sites for muscles and tendons.

Hope this helps :)
