Cartilage is avascular, meaning no blood supply. This is why cartilage is so long to heal and most often irreplaceable if damaged severely enough. The epidermis and subcutaneous connective tissues are vascular.
connective tissue
Muscle and Nervous tissue have the highest blood supply while connective is generally good blood supply and epithelium has no direct blood supply
dense irregular

connective tissue
Blood is a connective tissue that has a liquid matrix.
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.
The subcutaneous tissue is the loose, connective tissue directly beneath the dermis. It is composed of adipose tissue or fat that is made up of lipocytes. These cells contain stored fat as an energy reserve. It also provides a layer of insulation to conserve internal body heat as well as a cushion to protect the bones and internal organs.
The blood supply to them is slow
Yes blood is a connective tissue .Connective tissue is one which is rich in intercellular substance or interlacing processes with little tendency for the cells to come together in sheets or masses.
