Answer: True

Explanation:

A cataract is a clouding of the lens of your eye. As one ages, proteins in the lens begin to break down and the lens becomes cloudy. One may not even realize they have a cataract because it usually grows very slowly and may not impede vision early on. While cataracts are rarely dangerous, after a number of years they will likely affect vision. Its important to note also that cataract is not caused by overuse of the eyes and it does not travel from one eye to the other.

Risk factors include aging, family history, high blood pressure, previous eye injury, smoking, obesity, heavy drinking and diabetes.

Therefore, from the above risk factors, we could expound that blood type (exposure) has no relationship with cataract.

b) Tendon

Explanation:

Tendons are fibrous, thick, stiff and flexible structures, with a whitish color, present in different parts of the human body.

They are part of the striated muscle being made up of connective tissue (composed of collagen).

The main function of the tendons is to connect the muscles to the bones. In this way, it helps in the balance of the body and in the development of movements, distributing the forces in the muscles.

As it pulls the connecting bone with the muscle, the tendon creates the movement in order to transmit the force of the contraction to the bone.

In addition, the tendon provides stability to the joints (meeting point between two bones) of the body's joints.

sladkih [1.3K]
In the case of vaccines, we’re injected with antigens from a specific disease. Our body is able to make these antibodies as an immune response. This ensures that if we do get the disease, it will not likely be as serious because our bodies will already know how to fight it.
