A cornea transplant involves the grafting of a donor cornea into a recipient’s anterior eye. The sutures to hold the graft in pl

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.

How are dendrites synthesized in a neuron?
hram777 [196]

Answer:

The processing power of the mammalian brain is derived from the tremendous interconnectivity of its neurons. An individual neuron can have several thousand synaptic connections. While these associations yield computational power, it is the modification of these synapses that gives rise to the brain's capacity to learn, remember and even recover function after injury. Inter-connectivity and plasticity come at the price of increased complexity as small groups of synapses are strengthened and weakened independently of one another (Fig. 1). When one considers that new protein synthesis is required for the long-term maintenance of these changes, the delivery of new proteins to the synapses where they are needed poses an interesting problem (Fig. 1). Traditionally, it has been thought that the new proteins are synthesized in the cell body of the neuron and then shipped to where they are needed. Delivering proteins from the cell body to the modified synapses, but not the unmodified ones, is a difficult task. Recent studies suggest a simpler solution: dendrites themselves are capable of synthesizing proteins. Thus, proteins could be produced locally, at or near the synapses where they are needed. This is an elegant way to achieve the synapse specific delivery of newly synthesized proteins.

Scientific anti-realism is the view that science does not claim objects like electrons actually exist. They are just a fictional
enot [183]

Answer: This view fits best with "THE PRAGMATIC THEORY OF TRUTH".

Explanation: The pragmatic theory of truth states that something or a statement can be true, if only it have been tested and practice to be true. It means that truth can only be verified by experimenting ones belief or concept.

For science to use electron which is believed doesn't physically exist to explain concept that physically exist, that means the truth of the existence of an electron has has been tested and has gone through practicals, which shows that electron exist. The pragmatic theory of truth proves the existence of an electron to be true because it has been proven and tested to be true, using some physical principle, even though it has not been physically seen. Many scientific theories uses pragmatic theory of truth, to stand it's statement to be truth.
