Answer: Surgical Iridectomy or coredectomy is the excision of iris for the treatment of glaucoma.

Explanation:

Glaucoma is a desease that destroy the optic nerve and can cause blindness. It can best be treated by surgical iridectomy. Glaucoma is caused when the fluid inside the eye(aqueous humor) flow out through a channel and continuous build up can cause blockage of the channel

Surgical Iridectomy is the removal of part of the iris in order to treat glaucoma. This is normally done for close angle glaucoma.

Each segment of lung tissue is divided into a number of ____ wrapped in elastic connective tissue with a lymphatic, an arteriole
Luda [366]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Lobules

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • In respiratory system the lungs are two spongy, cone shaped organs in the thoracic cavity and are separated from each other by the heart and other structures found in the mediastinum.
  • Deep grooves called fissures divide each lung into lobes. Each lobe receives its own secondary bronchus. Each lung lobe is divided into smaller segments that are supplied by a tertiary bronchus.
  • <em><u>The segments, in turn are subdivided into small compartments called lobules, which contains, lymphatic vessel, arteriole, venules and also a branch from terminal bronchiole wrapped in elastic connective tissue.</u></em>

g Identify the statements that accurately describe how hydrogen ion concentration relates to energy production in oxidative phos
masha68 [24]

Answer:

- Hydrogen ion concentration is lower in the mitochondrial matrix than in the intermembrane space.  

- Oxidative phosphorylation relies on the hydrogen ion concentration gradient generated and maintained by the electron transport chain.  

- Hydrogen ions enter the mitochondrial matrix via facilitated diffusion.

Explanation:

Oxidative phosphorylation is a metabolic pathway by which Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) molecules are produced through the transfer of electrons from NADH or FADH2 to molecular oxygen (O2). The hydrogen (H+) ions are pumped from the mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space, and this movement of protons generates an electrochemical gradient across the mitochondrial membrane which is used by the ATP synthase to produce ATP. This gradient is generated by the movement of electrons through a series of electron carriers (e.g., cytochrome c and ubiquinone) that are embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The movement of these H+ ions across the semipermeable mitochondrial membrane moving down their electrochemical gradient is named chemiosmosis and is an example of facilitated diffusion.
