Evolution.

Evolution is a series of changes that occur to species, which make them better suited to their environment. The changes that occur are normally related to the harsh situations species may encounter in their new habitat.

All species have evolved and changed, from single-celled microorganisms to elephants. Cells for example, where simple organisms and didn't have all the organelles and types they now have. Elephants, also varied a lot in size and appearance.

Which answer best describes the relative refractory period in the neuron?
notka56 [123]
The answer that best describes the relative refractory period in the neuron is The resting membrane potential is restored, but concentrations of sodium and potassium are not restored to their original state.
The refractory period is the time during which another stimulus given to the neuron will not lead to a second potential. Thus, because Na+ channels are inactivated during this time, additional depolarizing stimuli do not lead to new action potentials.

The body determines whether certain genes should be expressed or not. Sometimes genes are only turned on once or twice in a life
zmey [24]

The gene which is produced once or twice in a lifetime is the milk producing hormone after childbirth. This is because it is produced only after the birth of the child. The growth of the mammary glands takes place during pregnancy. The breast continue to increase in size after giving birth to a child. After delivery only copious milk is produced which is generally done with the help of milk hormone. During pregnancy the secretion of the milk is inhibited by the estrogen and progesterone which circulates in the blood stream which in turn inhibits the release of prolactin from the pituitary gland thus making the mammary glands unresponsive. Where as insulin is a hormone which helps the body to utilise the sugar or glucose from different sources like carbohydrates that we get while we eat food and adrenaline is secreted when we are scared or when we feel that we are in danger. Therefore, milk producing hormone is the gene that are turned once or twice in a lifetime.

Bone marrow transplant taken from a donor and infused through the central vein is coded to what icd-10-pcs code
slava [35]
The ICD-10-PCS code is 30240G4.

Firstly, select "Administration" (section 3) because the procedure is the administration of bone marrow to the patient. Secondly, select "Circulatory" (section 30) because it is being administered in a vein (circulatory system). Third, select "Transfusion" (section 302) because it is being done a transfusion of bone marrow. Then select "Central Vein" (section 3024) because that's the place of administration in the circulatory system. Lastly, go to "Bone Marrow" (section 30240G) as that is what's being transfused and then choose "Transfusion of Allogeneic Unspecified Bone Marrow into Central Vein, Open Approach" (<span>30240G4) because it is not specified what type of transfusion it is.</span>
