false

Connective tissues contain abundant cells that are in contact with one another.

false

Dendrites in a neuron send outgoing signals to other cells.

false - they receive and process incoming information from other cells axons send outgoing signals

stratified squamous; stratified columnar

In an epithelium, there is almost no extracellular matrix.

True

Desmosomes are more effective that tight junctions in preventing substances from passing between cells.
