Which heals better ligaments or tendons?
Both tendons and Ligaments heal at extremely slow rates because these connective tissues are avascular (lack of blood supply). Whereas other connective tissues such as bone heal at a MUCH higher rate because of high vascularity.
Are veins in cartilage?
no veins in cartilage.
What layer of the epidermis is avascular?
the epidermis is avascular
Why are sprains and cartilage injuries a particular problem?
Sprains involve stretching or tearing of joint ligaments. Because ligaments are poorly vascularized, healing is slow. Cartilage injuries, particularly of the knee, are common in contact sports and may result from excessive twisting or high pressure. The avascular cartilage is unable to repair itself.
What does avascular but innervated mean?
avascular but innervated means that there is no blood supply but there is the presence of vessels
What tissue has no direct blood supply?
Tough to answer when the question is phrased so poorly, but a lot of tendons and ligaments have poor blood flow since they are avascular. So, tendons and ligaments.
What tissues and organs do not have capillaries?
Tissue without capillaries is called avascular tissue. Examples of avascular tissue include:CartilageEpitheliaCorneaLensAll organs contain blood vessels.

no veins in cartilage.
What layer of the epidermis is avascular?
the epidermis is avascular
Is nervous tissue avascular?
No. Avascular means that it does not get blood.
Is a Venus Flytrap avascular?
Yes, a Venus Flytrap is avascular.

Is stratified squamous epithelium avascular?
all epithelial tissue is avascular
Is simple columnar epithelium vascular or avascular?
All epithelial tissue is avascular
Explain why sprains and injuries to joint cartilages are particularly troublesome?
Sprains involve stretching or tearing of joint ligaments. Because ligaments are poorly vascularized, healing is slow. Cartilage injuries, particularly of the knee, are common in contact sports and may result from excessive twisting or high pressure. The avascular cartilage is unable to repair itself.
Is the epidermis avascular?
Yes, the epidermis itself is avascular, because the cells of the epidermis are not alive. The dermis layer of skin however, relies on blood vessels.
