Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Epithelial, neural, and muscle tissues have minimal extracellular matrix compared to connective tissue. Epithelial tissue forms protective layers with cells closely packed together, neural tissue is composed of neurons and glial cells with limited extracellular space, and muscle tissue consists of tightly packed muscle fibers, all of which emphasize cellular components over extracellular matrix.
