Epithelial body tissue is avascular and muscle tissue has a large blood supply. Why do some body tissues have a good blood supply (muscle) where others have no blood supply (epithelial)?

PART B. TYPES OF CONNECTIVE TISSUES 7. BLOOD: Blood is considered a (highlight one: fluid, loose, dense, semisolid, or solid) connective tissue. Unlike other connective tissues, blood has a liquid ECM (extracellular matrix) called and hormones in the blood. which transports nutrients, waste, Draw blood connective tissue. Red blood cells. Plasma- Draw what you see. Label the cells and fibers (reticular fibers). Platelets In the plasma, you should see 3 types of cells or structures: Erythrocytes are known as red blood cells. They are the tiny pink dots all over the image. Red blood cells carry oxygen in the blood. They do not have nuclei. leukocytes are known as white blood cells. They are the larger, purple dots scattered throughout the image. White blood cells help with immune response and they DO have nuclei. __Platelets_are proteins (non- cellular components) that help with the blood clotting immune response.
