A 70 year-old female has a drooping left eyelid obstructing her vision and has consented to having the blepharoptosis repaired.

A skin marking pencil was used to outline the external proposed skin incision on the left upper eyelid. The lower edge of the incision was placed in the prominent eyelid crease. The skin was excised to the levator aponeurosis. An attenuated area of levator aponeurosis was dehisced from the lower strip. Three 6-0 silk sutures were then placed in mattress fashion, attaching this attenuated tissue superiorly to the intact tissue inferiorly. This provided moderate elevation of the eyelid.

What can you infer about a vesicle or vacuole?
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Vesicles and vacuoles can be described as organelles which are membrane-bound and usually are used for storage. The membrane of a vesicle fuse with the membrane of the other cells but the membranes of a vacuole do not fuse with other membranes.

Vacuoles are used to maintain the pressure in a cell and they are larger than vesicles. Plant cells have a large vacuole in the centre of the cell to maintain the turgidity of the cell.

What are two ways to tell if bleeding is life-threatening?
Afina-wow [57]

The two ways to tell if bleeding is life-threatening are to check if it is spurting or pulsating blood or steady slow flow blood and whether it is bright red color or dark red color blood.

The purting or pulsating blood is usually bright red in color. It can be life-threatening. The steady slow flow blood is usually dark red in color. It can be potentially life-threatening.

In cases of severe bleeding, direct pressure should be applied immediately to the wound with any clean material which is available at the time. Pressure should be continued until the bleeding is controlled. The wound above the affected person's heart should be elevated. The person should be lying down with the legs elevated.
