If you think you know 97001-97004 backward and forward you may be surprised that you should avoid using E/M codes for physical therapists (PTs) and occupational therapists (OTs). However you can report 97001-97004 in addition to a separate E/M service on the same day.
Sponges do have several distinct types of cells, each with different functions. (See FIG.) The body wall of a sponge is perforated by numerous pores or ostia through which water is drawn into a central cavity called the spongocoel or central cavity. The osculum is a large opening at one end of the sponge through which all the resulting excurrent is evacuated.
The spleen is the largest organ of the lymphatic system. Its primary function is to filter blood of damaged cells, cellular debris, and pathogens. Like the thymus, the spleen houses and aids in the maturation of lymphocytes. Lymphocytes destroy pathogens and dead cells in the blood. The spleen is rich in blood supplied via the splenic artery. The spleen also contains efferent lymphatic vessels, which transport lymph away from the spleen and toward lymph nodes.
