The cornea has no blood vessels. The cornea is nothing but a vital and transparent part of the eye that provides us most of our optical power and ability to focus, as there are no blood vessels the cornea receives nourishment from the tears and aqueous humor (a fluid in the anterior portion of the eye) that fills the chamber behind it. and it gets its oxygen directly from the air. the cornea is the fastest healing tissue of the human body, which can heal most of the problems within 24-36 hours.

Then are thrown out of the body by breathing, sweating, and urination.

Our nose and ears never stop growing in our whole life. As we get older the maximum parts of the human body stop growing after one age. but some parts of our body like the noses, earlobes, and ear muscles keep getting bigger and never stop growing the entire life. This is because they are made up of mostly cartilage cells, which never stop growing and get bigger and bigger as we get older.
