Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: b) Cornea consists of dense matrix of collagen and is the most sensitive portion of the eye.
Solution:
-
- The cornea is indeed a transparent layer, but it is avascular (not highly vascularized).
- It is composed of a dense matrix of collagen fibers, which contributes to its transparency and strength.
- The cornea is known to be one of the most sensitive parts of the eye due to the high density of nerve endings.
- While the cornea does have some ability to repair itself, it does not consist of dense connective tissue of elastin.
