Question

in which of the following tissue type(s) is there little or no intercellular space between the cells?
select one:
○a. muscular tissue
○b. epithelial tissue
○c. epithelial tissue and connective tissue
○d. connective tissue
○e. neural

Explanation:

Epithelial tissue cells are tightly packed with little to no intercellular space. Muscular, connective, and neural tissues have more intercellular space (e.g., connective has matrix, muscular has extracellular components, neural has space between neurons). So the correct option is b.

Answer:

b. Epithelial tissue
