Question

The body tissue that consists largely of material located outside of cells is
a. epithelial tissue.
b. connective tissue.
c. muscle tissue.
d. nervous tissue.

Accepted Answer

Welcome back. Here's our next problem connective tissues largely consists of materials located. And let's look at our answer choices here. Choice A inside of cells. Be outside of cells. See inside lungs or D. Inside brain. So let's recall from our content video, what kinds of things are connective tissues? Well these are things like bones, cartilage and connective tissue proper like the connective tissue that surrounds organs and supports them. They have this purpose of support and structure. So we can actually eliminate uh two choices right away. Our last two choices see inside lungs and D. Inside brain, connective tissue is not limited to lungs or brain. It's all throughout the body obviously. So C. And D. We can eliminate right away. Um When we think about our other two choices we have inside of cells or outside of selves. Well because of their um purpose of support and structure. Think about bones and cartilage. Their heart. The bones are hard, cartilage is firm. Um It needs to be very strong. So connective tissue consists of their cells themselves but a large amount of extra cellular effectively here. A large amount of extra cellular matrix. And this is made up of things like fiber blasts and proteins that provide that structure and support that the connective tissue. Um That's the connective tissues function in the body. So this is very unique about connective tissues that they have. This. The larger amount of their material is outside the cells with this extra cellular matrix. So choice A is not correct inside the cells. We're looking at choice B outside of cells. So connective tissues, largely consistent materials located be outside of the cells. See you in the next video.
