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.
yes
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.

There is no such thing... Do you avascular necrosis?
No. Avascular means that it does not get blood.
Yes, a Venus Flytrap is avascular.
whereas most tissue are vascular (contain blood vessels), epithelium is avascular, meaning it lacks blood vessels. epithelial cells receive their nutrients from capillaries in the underlying connective tissue. although blood vessels do not penetrate epithelial sheets, nerve endings do; that is, epithelium is innervated (supply organ with nerve).
all epithelial tissue is avascular
All epithelial tissue is 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.
The cornea is avascular because it must be basically transparent in order to function.
