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. 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. Connective tissue is one of the basic tissues which gives structural and metabolic support to the organ and other tissue of the body..

Function of Connective Tissue. A. General . Characteristics. 1. Connective tissues function to . bind structures, provide support and protect, serve as frameworks, fill spaces, store fat, produce blood cells, protect against infections, and help repair tissue damage.. - 1 Four primary tissues of body — • Epithelial tissue • Connective tissue • Muscle tissue • Nervous tissue • connective tissue is one of most abundent and widely distributed tissue of Attachments . of Skeletal Muscle.
