with reference to a skeletal muscle, the site of its attachment to bone which during its contraction is relatively mobile, compared to the site of its origin. For example, in elbow flexion contraction of the biceps moves the forearm (site of insertion) rather than the scapula (site of origin above the shoulder joint).. the act of implanting, or condition of being implanted. 2. the site of attachment, as of a muscle to the bone that it moves. insertion sequence (IS). see transposable genetic elements. velamentous insertion. attachment to a membrane, such as the umbilical cord to the fetal membranes.
There is a risk of developing posterior lens capsule opacification (PCO) following your cataract surgery. PCO is a complication that causes the back of the lens capsule (which holds your artificial lens in place) to thicken which causes cloudy vision.
Capsular thickening. The capsule is the outer bag of the natural lens that is left behind during surgery to hold the artificial lens or implant. Over time, in some patients, this outer shell becomes cloudy, a condition known as capsular thickening or secondary cataract.The patient will notice vision becoming blurred â just like it did with the original cataract.apsular opacification (secondary cataract) is treated using a YAG laser and this is a brief and painless out-patient procedure. The pupil will be dilated at the time and the laser makes a new clear pathway in the area of the pupil, allowing light to reach the back of the eye.
