What else can I help you with?
Is the Cornea Avascular?
The cornea does not have blood vessels; it receives nutrients via diffusion from the tear fluid at the outside and the aqueous humour at the inside and also from neurotrophins supplied by nerve fibres that innervate it
What connective tissue is avascular?
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.
Are veins in cartilage?
No, cartilage does not contain veins. Cartilage is a type of connective tissue that is avascular, meaning it does not have blood vessels like veins. Instead, nutrients and oxygen are diffused through the matrix of the cartilage from nearby blood vessels.
What layer of the epidermis is avascular?
The stratum corneum is the outermost layer of the epidermis and is avascular, meaning it lacks blood vessels. This layer is made up of dead skin cells that provide a protective barrier for the underlying layers of skin.
What does avascular but innervated mean?
"Avascular but innervated" means that a tissue or structure lacks a direct blood supply (avascular), but it still has nerve supply (innervated). This usually indicates that the tissue relies on diffusion for its nutrient and oxygen supply, while still being able to communicate with the nervous system. Examples include the cornea of the eye and cartilage in joints.
What part of the skin is avascular?
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.
Is nervous tissue avascular?
No. Avascular means that it does not get blood.
Is a Venus Flytrap avascular?
Yes, a Venus Flytrap is avascular.
What flowers petal parts come in sets of 4 or 5?
a plant embryo
Is simple columnar epithelium vascular or avascular?
All epithelial tissue is avascular
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.
What is avascular tissue?
cartilage
Why cornea is avascular?
The cornea is avascular because it must be basically transparent in order to function.
Is the Cornea Avascular?
The cornea does not have blood vessels; it receives nutrients via diffusion from the tear fluid at the outside and the aqueous humour at the inside and also from neurotrophins supplied by nerve fibres that innervate it

Which are tissues?
Cartilage is avascular.
Is gumamela Avascular or non vascular?
Gumamela, also known as Hibiscus, is a vascular plant. Vascular plants have specialized tissues for transporting water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the plant. In the case of gumamela, it has xylem and phloem tissues that enable efficient transport of these substances. This vascular system allows gumamela to grow larger and more complex compared to avascular plants like mosses and liverworts.
