Detailed explanation-1: -Cartilage. Cartilage is the avascular connective tissue that connects bones at joints and comprises walls of upper respiratory airways and external ear. It is surrounded by perichondrium, a layer of dense connective tissue. The perichondrium is rich in blood vessels and supplies the cartilage.
Detailed explanation-2: -1: Blood Tissue: Blood is a connective tissue that has a fluid matrix, called plasma, and no fibers. Erythrocytes (red blood cells), the predominant cell type, are involved in the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Also present are various leukocytes (white blood cells) involved in immune response.
Detailed explanation-3: -Connective tissues can have various levels of vascularity. Cartilage is avascular, while dense connective tissue is poorly vascularized. Others, such as bone, are richly supplied with blood vessels.
