Verified step by step guidance

Understand the general characteristics of connective tissues: Connective tissues are known for their role in supporting and binding other tissues, having a large amount of extracellular matrix, and often having the ability to regenerate and repair.

Identify the common features of connective tissues: Most connective tissues have a rich supply of blood vessels, which is crucial for nutrient delivery and waste removal.

Analyze the options given: Support and binding of other tissues, presence of a large amount of extracellular matrix, and ability to regenerate and repair are typical features of connective tissues.

Consider the exception: While many connective tissues have a rich blood supply, there are exceptions such as cartilage, which is avascular (lacking blood vessels).

Conclude which feature is not common: The feature 'Rich blood supply' is not a characteristic shared by all connective tissues, as some types like cartilage do not have this feature.
