Which one of the following contains the largest quantity of extracellular material?
Correct answer: B. Areolar tissue
- A. Striated muscle
- B. Areolar tissue
- C. Stratified epithelium
- D. Myelinated nerve fibres
Explanation
In areolar tissue, there is interercellular space, so the quantity of extracellular material is present in this tissue. It contains all cell types and fibres of connective tissue. There is a thin layer of extracellular fluid in stratified epithelium whereas striated muscle is attached with tendons and there is very less amount of extracellular fluid in myelinated nerve fibre.

About Support and Movement
Support and movement covers the axial and appendicular skeleton, bone structure, joints and the arrangement of skeletal muscles. Muscle contraction is explained through actin, myosin, sliding filaments, calcium ions and ATP, while arthritis is distinguished as a disorder of joints rather than a normal part of movement.
