A 65 year-old male with a history of chronic glaucoma has progressive optic nerve damage and elevated intraocular pressure. a cl

ear corneal incision is made and viscoelastic material is injected into the anterior chamber over the lens to increase and maintain anterior chamber depth. the endoscope is inserted through the temporal incision to view the nasal ciliary processes, which is coagulated with the endpoint of shrinkage and whitening. the endoscope is moved in an arc, allowing treatment of the processes over an arc of 180° and a second corneal incision is made 90° away and 180° of ciliary processes are destroyed with laser therapy. the surgeon has completed coagulation of 270° of angle. the eye is reformed with balanced salt solution. wounds are checked for leakage and sutures are placed to seal the wound. what cpt® code is reported?

The correct answer is CPT code 66711.  

The CPT or Current Procedural Terminology code arrangement refers to a medical code set sustained by the AMA via the CPT editorial panel. Glaucoma refers to an array of disorders, which destruct the optic nerve of the eye and can lead to blindness and vision loss.  

Trabeculectomy refers to the surgery that comprises incision and repair of the iris and the ciliary body. The CPT code 66711 is reported, under destruction methods on the Iris, Ciliary body of the eye.

kogti [31]

Answer:

The statement '<em>the genetic material of the original cell is divided among the new cells</em>' describes how cells are produced in meiosis process.

<u>Explanation: </u>

<em>In meiosis a single cell is divided into twice to form four cells and it contains the original half amount of 'genetic information'.</em> In meiosis, the two cells are called daughter cells are produced, and each identical cells to the parent cell meiosis are produced four haploid cells and mitosis are produced two diploid cells.

<em>The meiosis cell division is to reduces the number of 'chromosomes' in the parent cell by its half portion and also they produce four gamete cells.</em> In this process they required to produce 'eggs and sperm' cells for the sexual reproduction .It is the main aim to make a daughter cells with same half so many 'chromosomes' as the starting cell.

What is the proton gradient used for in photosynthesis?
Dmitriy789 [7]
The energy of the electrons in NADPH are not sufficient for anabolic reactions such as CO2 fixation. These processes also require biochemical energy in the form of ATP. The process of photosynthetic electron transfer also generates a gradient of protons (H+) across the photosynthetic membrane (Figure: Proton Gradient).
