Yes, it lacks them. They are found in the surrounding perichondrium.

Is blood found in cartilage?
Bone contains capillaries but cartilage does not.
Do Cartilage cells multiply on the epiphysis or diaphysis side of the epiphyseal plate?
Epiphysis
What don't belong epiphysis surface articular cartilage periosteum hyaline cartilage?
Periosteum is the term that doesn't belong. The surface of the epiphysis, articular cartilage, and hyaline cartilage are all cartilaginous tissue.
Why is bone vascular but cartilage avascular?
cartilage has no blood supply.
What is found on the outer surface of the epiphysis?
articular cartilage
Why is articular cartilage only found at the epiphysis?
Because epiphyses are covered by articular cartilage
What is more vascular cartilage or dense connective?
Dense connective tissue. Cartilage is with out blood supply.
Why do bone injuries heal much more rapidly than injuries to cartilage?
Because of the lack of blood supply to cartilage, (a new technique to hasten healing of injuries is to introduce fresh blood flow into the area) whereas the marrow in bones actually produce red blood cells, and bones are actually a honeycomb like structure, and they are constantly being taken apart, and rebuilt, microscopic bit by bit.
What is at the end of bones?
In the epiphysis, or end of the bone, is spongy bone which contains red bone marrow. On the external part of the epiphysis is articular or hyaline cartilage.
What type of tissue covers the epiphysis bones and reduces friction in the joints?
Articular cartilage
What structure doesn't have a blood supply even though it's considered connective tissue?
The types of connective tissue are loose (ex: padding under skin), bone, cartilage, and blood. Cartilage does not directly receive a blood supply. It gets its nutrients from surrounding fluid.
Is a tissue that lacks a blood supply and heals very slowly?
