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.

Are ligaments avascular?
yes
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.
What types of tissues makes up the outer covering and lines organs of animals?
epithelial
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 is tough substance that joins bones?
Tendons, ligaments and cartilege in between.
Are ligaments avascular?
yes
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.

Explain why sprains and injuries to joint cartilages are particularly troublesome?

Advantages and disadvantages of radiology structure?
Advantages: schooling is fast & you make good moneyDisadvantages:there are many fields.. and looking at people with the broken ligaments, where you can actually see the bone!!!
What is the flexible connective tissue at joints?
This connective tissue are called ligaments. Ligaments connect bones to bones while tendons connect muscles to bones. They are exactly the same tissue but terminology makes the names different.
