Answer: The cornea is avascular.

Explanation:

The cornea can be defined as the clear front membrane on the surface of eyeball. It lies in the front of the iris and pupil. It allows the light to enter the eye. A cornea transplant is recommended in patients who suffer from vision problems due to thinning of cornea, keratoconus, loss of vision and cloudiness of cornea.

It takes about 2 to 3 months to recover after surgery. The healing is slow because the cornea is avascular. The tissue of cornea does not provide blood vessels to deliver nutrients and oxygen which could aid in speedy recovery.

Infants and children require daily allowance of 8.00 * 10^-6 mole of copper per kiogram of body weight. Calculate for a 10kg inf
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

0.00508368 grams

Explanation:

From the question we are told that the daily allowance for infants and children is  8.00 × 10⁻⁶ mole of copper per kiogram of body weight.

Since this value is given in moles, we have to convert it to mass

Molar mass of a compound = mass in grams / no of moles of the compound.

So, Molar mass of copper = 63.546

No of moles of copper per kg = 8.00 × 10⁻⁶ mole

63.546 = mass/ 8.00 × 10⁻⁶ mole

Cross multiply

Mass of copper per kg body weight = 8.00 × 10⁻⁶ × 63.546

= 0.000508368 grams

Hence, the daily allowance of copper required for infants or children per kg of weight = 0.000508368 grams.

For a 10 kg infant this is calculated as:

If 1 kg per weight of an Infant = 0.000508368grams

10 kg =

We cross multiply

10 kg × 0.000508368 grams

= 0.00508368 grams.

Therefore, the mass of copper required per day for a 10 kg child is 0.00508368 grams

Inhibin is thought to be released in response to developing sperm and is thought to:
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

A. Inhibit FSH secretion.

Explanation:

Inhibin is a hormone secreted by the granulosa cells in the ovaries of women and the Sertolli cells in men.  The main function of inhibin, as they name says, is to inhibit the secretion of FSH by the anterior pituitary gland. Inhibin is also produced by the Sertolli cells in the testes of men, and it is released in the blood when the sperm count is too high. FSH causes the Sertoli cells of the testes to begin the process of spermatogenesis in the testes. Therefore, releasing inhibin would cause a negative feedback and stop the production of sperm.
