Answer:

The cornea.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cornea is the only part of the human body that has no blood supply, it gets oxygen directly through the air. Also, did you know that the cornea is the fastest healing tissue in the human body, therefore, most corneal abrasions will heal within about 24-36 hours.

I hope this helps you! Stay safe <3
