What happens to corneal endothelium after injury ?
Correct Answer: Regenerates rapidly
Description: Ans. is 'c' i.e., Regenerates rapidly The cell density of endothelium is around 3000 cells/mm2 in young adults, which decreases with the advancing age. There is a considerable functional reserve for the endothelium. Therefore owing to the high functional reserve and good metabolic activity of the endothelial layer, regeneration occurs rapidly after injury. Therefore, corneal decompensation occurs only after more than 75 percent of the cells are lost.
