Page 81 - 85. Functions. Protection. Support. Binding together other body tissues. Characteristics. Most connective tissues are vascularized (have good blood supply). Ligaments and tendons are exceptions. 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.
