PPT-Connective Tissue

The dense layer of the basal lamina of all epithelial tissue is created by connective tissue Connective tissue connects the epithelium to the rest of the body Three Basic Components Specialized cells. Connective Tissue. General Characteristics. Does have blood vessels- . variations in blood supply (ligaments and tendons don’t heal as fast because they are poorly vascularized). Cartilage is avascular –no blood supply- heals very slowly. Tissues (generic). Digital Laboratory. It’s best to view this in . Slide Show . mode, especially for the quizzes.. This module will take approximately 60 minutes to complete.. After completing this exercise, you should be able to:. Connective Tissue. Found everywhere in the body.
