Degree of Vascularization and Repair
Epithelial tissue – continual replacement and functional
repair; supplied with blood vessels from adjacent areolar
tissue.
Bone tissue – well vascularized, constantly remodeled
and replaced
Areolar tissue – well vascularized, repairs via scar tissue
Adipose tissue – well vascularized
Dense regular and reticular c.t. – poorly vascularized,
mostly scar tissue repair
Cartilage – avascular, scar tissue repair
