Question

The intercellular matrix is negligible or absent in which of the following tissue
A) Connective tissue
B) Epithelial tissue
C) Muscular tissue
D) Cardiac tissue

Answer 1

The intercellular matrix is negligible or absent in epithelial tissue.

Option: B

Explanation:

• The intercellular matrix means the space between two cells which are covered with mainly collagen.  

• Here the matrix has ground substance in it which helps in the exchange of substance between two or more cells.  

• However epithelial tissues are very closely attached to each other. Hence the intercellular matrix is greatly absent in such tissue.

• The exchange of material takes place by the sodium potassium ATPase pump. All the other types of tissue have significant intracellular matrix.
