Summary Introduction

To explain: The structure of a cell membrane.

Introduction: A cell is a basic functional, structural, and biological unit of all known organisms. A cell includes a cytoplasm, cell membrane, and nucleus. Cells provide structure for the body, facilitate growth by mitosis, allow active and passive transport, and generate energy. The human body consists of about 30 trillion cells.

Summary Introduction

To explain: How the structural organization of the cell membrane provides membranes function.

Preoperative Diagnosis: Torn medial meniscus, left knee Postoperative Diagnosis: Combination horizontal cleavage tear/flap tear, posterior horn, medial meniscus, left knee. Operation: Arthroscopic subtotal medial meniscectomy, left knee Anesthetic: General endotracheal Description of Procedure: The patient was placed on the operating table in the supine position and general endotracheal anesthesia was administered. After an adequate level of anesthesia was achieved, the patient's left lower extremity was prepped with Betadine scrubbing solution, then draped in a sterile manner. Several sites were then infiltrated with 1% Xylocaine solution with Epinephrine to help control bleeding from stab wounds to be made at these sites. These stab wounds were made anterolaterally at the level of the superior pole of the patella for insertion of an irrigation catheter into the suprapatellar pouch area, anterolaterally at the level of the joint line for insertion of the scope and anteromedially at…
