Several types of tissues are avascular, with epithelial tissue and cartilage being the most notable examples.
Epithelial Tissue: This tissue covers body surfaces, lines hollow organs, and forms glands. Despite its avascular nature, it plays a crucial role in protection, absorption, secretion, and sensation. Cartilage: Found in joints, the respiratory tract, and the ear, cartilage is a flexible yet strong tissue that lacks blood vessels. Instead, it gets nutrients through diffusion from the surrounding connective tissue.
