Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Connective tissue has varied levels of vascularity (some have blood vessels, some do not).
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Connective tissue, with the exception of cartilage, is highly vascularized and well nourished. This allows for replication and thus allows for repair of organs. Connective tissue is embryonically derived from mesoderm. It is also found as cells in a matrix (meshwork) and generally there is more matrix than cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -A layer of dense irregular connective tissue covers cartilage. No blood vessels supply cartilage tissue. Injuries to cartilage heal very slowly because cells and nutrients needed for repair diffuse slowly to the injury site.

Detailed explanation-3: -The true statement is: B) Dense connective tissue is often called fibrous connective tissue. An example of dense connective tissue is a tendon. The hallmark of dense connective tissue is parallel bundles of collagen fibres.
