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.

Is cartilage considered connective tissue?
Cartilage can function as a connective tissue owing to its rigidity, it often holds tubes open.
Where is avascular tissue found in the human body?
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.
Does epithelial tissue contain blood cells?
Yes! avascular means without blood vessels.
Why are so many organs made of epithelial tissue and connective tissue?
they are found together because Epithelial tissue is avascular (it contains no blood vessels) and needs to get it's nutrients from the blood vessels in the connective tissue under it.
Why are tendons epithelial tissue and ligaments avascular What are the advantages of this tissue being avascualr?
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.
What tissue that is avascular and is nourished from the underlying connective tissue?
Epithlial Tissue
What features distinguish adipose tissue from other connective tissue?
No blood cells- avascular
Is the dermis an avascular connective tissue layer?
The papillary layer of the dermis is made up of areolar connective tissue.

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.
Does epithelial tissue contain blood cells?
Yes! avascular means without 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.

Is nervous tissue avascular?
No. Avascular means that it does not get blood.
Is stratified squamous epithelium avascular?
all epithelial tissue is avascular
