Which of the following components primarily composes the extracellular matrix in connective tissue?
A
Adipocytes
B
Collagen fibers
C
Epithelial cells
D

Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in connective tissue. The ECM provides structural and biochemical support to the surrounding cells.
Identify the primary components of the ECM. These include fibers, ground substance, and sometimes cells.
Recognize that collagen fibers are a major component of the ECM. They provide tensile strength and structural support.
Differentiate between the options given: Adipocytes are fat cells, epithelial cells form linings and coverings, and neurons are nerve cells. None of these primarily compose the ECM.
Conclude that collagen fibers are the correct answer as they are the primary structural component of the ECM in connective tissues.
