    What is the only living tissue in the human body that does not contain any blood vessels?

    Question #102456. Asked by armindasantana. (Jan 19 09 3:47 PM)

    		The cornea.

    "Because transparency is of prime importance the cornea does not have blood vessels; it receives nutrients via diffusion from the tear fluid at the outside and the aqueous humour at the inside and also from neurotrophins supplied by nerve fibres that innervate it."
