This is a tissue that is commonly very vascularized, because the blood vessels that irrigate the tissues and organs lie inside it. Lymphatic vessels are also commonly found in the connective tissue.<br \/>\nThe inner region of these blood vessels is filled with blood cells.<br \/>\nRemember that blood vessels are small hollow tubes and after being sectioned their wall looks like a ring. The walls of the two blood vessels of this image are very thin and are made up of only one layer of a simple squamous epithelium whose cells are also thin. Their nuclei, which are also quite flat, can be clearly seen.<br \/>\nAs all epithelia, the endothelium is supported by a basement membrane, which is not seen in this image.<br \/>\nWhen you move the cursor or click over the image, the nuclei of the epithelial cells become highlighted in blue and the cytoplasm in red. <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"image-container\">\n<a href=\"javascript:void(0)\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\" https:\/\/mol-en.icb.usp.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-15.jpg \" onmouseover=\"this.src=' https:\/\/mol-en.icb.usp.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-15MO.jpg'\" onmouseout=\"this.src=' https:\/\/mol-en.icb.usp.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-15.jpg'\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Connective tissue.
