Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the components of connective tissue: Connective tissue is composed of cells, fibers, and the extracellular matrix.
Identify the role of the extracellular matrix: The extracellular matrix is a network of non-cellular components that provide structural and biochemical support to the surrounding cells.
Recognize the composition of the extracellular matrix: It consists of water, proteins, and polysaccharides, which form a gel-like substance that fills the space between cells and fibers.
Compare the volume occupied by each component: While cells and fibers are important, the extracellular matrix typically occupies the largest volume in connective tissue due to its extensive network and gel-like consistency.
Conclude that the extracellular matrix is the part of connective tissue that takes up most of the volume, providing the structural framework for the tissue.
