In Which of the Following is Intercellular Matrix Most Abundant

Question

In which of the following is intercellular matrix most abundant?
A) Pseudostratified columnar
B) Simple squamous epithelium
C) Connective tissue
D) Simple columnar epithelium

Accepted Answer

Connective tissue is the only option given that contains intercellular matrix, as it is a type of tissue that provides support and structure to other tissues and organs in the body. Simple squamous and simple columnar epithelium have very little intercellular matrix, and while pseudostratified columnar epithelium has some extracellular material, it is not as abundant as in connective tissue.
