    Study Notes

    Epithelial Tissue vs Connective Tissue

    • Epithelial tissue consists of tightly packed cells.
    • Epithelial tissue is avascular, meaning it contains no blood vessels.
    • Epithelial tissue forms membranes and surfaces of organs and cavities.

    Characteristics of Connective Tissue

    • Connective tissue contains relatively few cells dispersed within a substantial extracellular matrix.
    • It has a rich network of blood vessels, providing nourishment and transport.
    • Connective tissue supports, binds, and protects other tissues and organs.

    Relationship between Epithelial and Connective Tissue

    • Epithelial tissue is always found adjacent to connective tissue, facilitating exchanges between the two.
    • This adjacency allows for the delivery of oxygen and nutrients from blood and the removal of waste products.
