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.
How do you Compare bone to cartilage tissue relative to its resilience speed of regeneration and access to nutrients?
Bone has more resilience, cartilage has faster regeneration, and cartilage is avascular.
Which structure is found in the bone and not in cartilage?
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 connective tissue takes the longest to heal bone or adipose or dense regular or cartilage or areolar tissue?
Cartilage takes longest to heal because it is avascular.
Which are tissues?
Cartilage is avascular.
Is simple columnar epithelium vascular or avascular?
All epithelial tissue is avascular
What is avascular tissue?
cartilage
Explain how the canaliculi allow bone to heal more efficiently than cartilage?
Bone is far more vascular than cartilage, which means the bone receives nutrients/oxygen/other good stuff more and easier than cartilage. Cartilage has almost no blood supply, which makes healing difficult. Hope that helps..
Is Cartilage more brittle than Bone?
Cartilage, as a rule, is the slowest healing tissue in the human body. The reason for this is the virtual absence of blood flow in this tissue. Most of the nutrition for cartilage comes from synovial fluid, the lubricating fluid in most of our joints. There are other types of cartilage in the body such as hyaline cartilage, forming the connection in the front of the rib cage. This type is also considered avascular, meaning without blood supply. Bones on the other hand heal much faster than most tissues because of their rich supply of blood. The blood carries the nessecary building blocks required in the healing process.
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.
Is the epidermis vascular?
no its avascular because it doesn't contain any blood vesselsno No.
