Connective tissue may or may not be avascular - it depends on the composition of the connective tissue. Avascular tissue is any tissue that does not contain blood vessels or lymphatics. Examples include epithelial tissue layers and the cornea. Elastic fibers, a form of connective tissue is avascular, but muscle is vascular.
No, the bone tissue is vascular. Although it looks rigid, there are Haversian canals within the bone that delivers blood and nerve connections to the bone. However, the associated tissue the cartilage is avascular.
Tissue that is avascular have little to no blood cells that are present. Some examples of connective tissue that are avascular are the cornea or epithelial tissue.
Cartilage is avascular.
cartilage is most avascular.,
Epidermis
cartilage
Cartilage can function as a connective tissue owing to its rigidity, it often holds tubes open.
Avascular tissue is that which does not contain blood vessels or lymphatics. Examples include: The epithelial layer of the skin, cartilage, and the cornea and lens of the eye. There are some types of connective tissue that are composed of elastic fibers that are avascular, too.
Yes! avascular means without blood vessels.
they are found together because Epithelial tissue is avascular (it contains no blood vessels) and needs to get it's nutrients from the blood vessels in the connective tissue under it.
tendons are not made of epithelial tissue, they are made of connective tissue.Epithelial tissue secretes via ducted or ductless glands.Ligaments are also composed of connective tissue. Any tissue that "connects structures" are generally composed of connective tissue.Ligaments connect bone to bone and there is a debate about the avascularity of ligaments.
Epithlial Tissue
No blood cells- avascular
The papillary layer of the dermis is made up of areolar connective tissue.

The term "avascular" actually means lacking in blood vessels. What we call "skin" is actually layers of epithelial tissue, all of which is avascular. So, I suppose all parts of the skin are avascular, but epithelial tissue doe lie upon a layer of vascular connective tissue.

Cartilage takes longest to heal because it is avascular.

No. Avascular means that it does not get blood.
all epithelial tissue is avascular
