The connective tissue type found in the walls of large blood vessels and in ligaments supporting transitional epithelia is elastic connective tissue. This type of tissue is rich in elastin fibers, allowing it to provide flexibility and resilience, enabling blood vessels to stretch and recoil with blood flow. Additionally, it helps maintain the structural integrity of ligaments associated with transitional epithelium.
