Question

please somebody help I'm so confused.the lecturer said that from the properties of connective tissue:the disabundance of intercellular Matrix,but I read in a book that it's characterized by the abundance of intercellular matrix.Which one is correct??

Answer 1

There is no such word as "disabundance". You must have misheard.

Intercellular matrix is abundant in connective tissue. It is what makes it connective. Incidentally, it is more usual to call it extracellular matrix than intercellular matrix. But it is the same thing.
