Connective tissue is highly vascular (except for cartilage and tendons which have limited vascularity). Epithelial tissue is avascular. Connective tissue has different fibers (collagen, elastic, reticular) and cell types (fibroblasts, adipocytes etc.), and has fewer cells compared to the amount of extracellular matrix.
