Matrix is extracellular. How does the matrix get to its characteristic position?

Video transcript

Hi, everyone. Welcome back. Here's our next question. Which of the following tissues is composed of a significant proportion of nonliving extracellular matrix made up of both organic and inorganic substances. So when we think about cells in an organ with tons of extracellular matrix, that's going to lead us to choice B connective tissue. And the purpose of all that extracellular matrix is allowing it to withstand things like pressure, abrasion, a lot of force on it. So things that other cell types can't all the other types of tissue here, epithelial muscle and nervous tissue, all are mostly composed of living cells. Whereas the connective tissue distinctly has such a very large amount of this extracellular matrix and connective tissue, the cells themselves can be rather far away from each other. So our tissue with a significant portion of nonliving extracellular matrix is choice B connective tissue. See you in the next video.
