Which one of the following contains the largest quantity of extracellular material:
- Striated muscle
- Areolar tissue
- Stratified epithelium
- Myelinated nerve fibres
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Areolar tissue is a loose connective tissue that contains a significant amount of extracellular matrix, which includes collagen fibers, elastin fibers, ground substance, and other components. This extracellular matrix provides structural support and flexibility to the tissue. In contrast, tissues like striated muscle, stratified epithelium, and myelinated nerve fibers have relatively less extracellular material compared to areolar tissue.
So, the correct option is (B): Areolar tissue

- Consider the diameter of a spherical object being measured with the help of a Vernier Callipers. Suppose its 10 Vernier Scale Divisions (V.S.D.) are equal to its 9 Main Scale Divisions (M.S.D.). The least count in the M.S. is 0.1 cm and the zero of V.S. is at -0.1 cm when the jaws of Vernier callipers are closed. If the main scale reading for the diameter is \(M = 5\) cm and the number of coinciding vernier division is 8, the measured diameter after zero error correction, is:

Animal Tissues
Human bodies, like most animal bodies, are made up of four different types of tissue:
Epithelial Tissue:
This tissue forms the outer layer of the body and also lines many of the body's cavities where it has a protective function.
General functions of epithelial tissue:-
- Provides a barrier between the external environment and the organ that it is covering.
- Specialized to function in secretion and absorption.
- Protects organisms from microorganisms, injury, and fluid loss.
Connective Tissue:
This tissue assists in the support and protection of organs and limbs and depending on the location in the body it may join or separate organs or parts of the body.
Muscle Tissue:
This tissue enables various forms of movement, both voluntary and involuntary.
Nerve Tissue:
This tissue is responsible for the carrying of electrical and chemical signals and impulses from the brain and central nervous system to the periphery, and vice versa.
