For elaboration of the CPT code given:

You will be directed to code range 19303-19306. CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) code 19306 describes the Urban type procedure. In these procedures, single pedical TRAM flap is done. TRAM is known as the transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap method of breast reconstruction. In the CPT Index, look for TRAM Flap/ Breast Reconstruction and you will be directed to 19367-19369.

answer: - b cells

explanation: -

there are many types of white blood cells present in our body. one such class of white blood cells are the lymphocytes. the b cells belong to the lymphocyte class of wbcs. the b cells perform their action against the pathogen by producing specialised proteins called as antibodies. these antibodies are produced as and when the b cells encounter pathogens in response to the antigens present on the surface of the pathogen. these antibodies bind to the antigens present on the pathogen and then, target them for destruction by other cells of the immune system.

so, the b cells mediate their action by identifying the antigens present on the surface of the pathogens and then producing antibodies in return to mediate its effect.
