Do connective tissue lack blood vessels?

Connective tissues vary in their vascularity, meaning some types have blood vessels while others do not. For instance, dense connective tissues like tendons and ligaments have a limited blood supply, while loose connective tissues, such as areolar tissue, are more vascularized. Cartilage, another type of connective tissue, is avascular, relying on diffusion for nutrient supply. Therefore, the presence of blood vessels in connective tissue depends on the specific type of tissue.
