Specialized cells that primarily provide structural support for an animal's body include fibroblasts, which produce collagen and other extracellular matrix components, and chondrocytes, which are found in cartilage. Osteocytes, the mature bone cells, also contribute to structural integrity in bones. Additionally, adipocytes, while primarily involved in energy storage, can provide cushioning and support in certain tissues. Together, these cells maintain the overall structure and stability of the animal's body.
