Answer:
D. Fibrocartilage
Explanation:
In order to understand the question, we need to review the structure of intervertebral discs.
Intervertebral discs consist of two parts:
It forms the central part of the intervertebral disc and consists of mucoid substance.
It is composed of encircling layers of fibrocartilage and fibrous tissue surrounding the nucleus pulposus
<u>SLIPPED DISC:</u>
It is characterized by the protrusion of nucleus pulposus through the annulus fibrosus accompanied by the compression of spinal nerves.
Patient may present with loss of sensory sensations or pain or both.
<u>CORRECT ANSWER:</u>
From the above review, the correct answer is <u>D. fibrocartilage</u> as it forms the annulus fibrosus.
The correct codes are 63267 and 69990.
The codes are given based on the lesion if it is intradural or extradural. In our case here it is extradural cystic structure so that is why it ranges between 63265 to 63268.
We also divide the section of spine depending on where the lesion is being located. Code 63267 describes laminectomy which has evacuation of intraspinal lesion which is found in the lumbar spine.
69990 code documents the use of microscope.
The respiratory system contains the lungs, so the answer is C. Hope this helps.
Letter B is the correct option
Ans.
<em>Viscum album </em>is a plant species, commonly known as mistletoe. It is a hemi-parasitic plant that grows on other trees.
Birds cause seed dispersal as they pick seeds from parent plant and drop them in other places. Seeds of mistletoe are sticky or viscous due to mucus and they provide nutritious food to the birds.
Hence, it can be concluded that the mistletoe seeds show adaptations primarily for seed dispersion, not for infecting the host plant.
Thus, the correct answer to be filled in the blank is 'is nutritious to the dispersing birds.'
