Ans.

HD (Huntington's disease) is a genetic neurological disorder that occurs due to damage and death of brain  cells. it is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation in HTT (huntingtin) gene, having a trinucleotide repeat section that makes HTT protein.

The mutation leads to an increase in this nucleotide repeat count, associated with formation of altered or mutated huntingtin protein. These altered proteins show deleterious affect on brain cells and result in Huntington's disease.

Thus, the correct answer is 'option A). a mutated gene.'

When you breathe in, the diaphragm moves downward toward the abdomen, and the rib muscles pull the ribs upward and outward. This makes the chest cavity bigger and pulls air through the nose or mouth into the lungs.

ira [324]

Lymph traveling from the left arm would enter the venous circulation via the thoracic duct.

<h3>What is thoracic duct?</h3>
  • The largest lymphatic channel in the body's lymphatic system is the thoracic duct, commonly known as van Hoorne's canal.
  • Adults have an average length of 40 cm, and their abdominal origin is about 5 mm wide.
  • The thoracic duct runs from the root of the neck to the twelfth thoracic vertebra.
  • The thoracic duct enters the posterior mediastinum, remaining to the right of the vertebral column, by ascending via the diaphragm's aortic hiatus.
  • At the T7 vertebral level, it runs posterior to the esophagus before crossing over to the left side of the thorax at the T5 vertebral level.
  • The primary lymphatic channel for the return of chyle/lymph to the systemic venous system is the thoracic duct.
  • It drains lymph from the left side of the face and neck, left hemithorax, left upper limb, and both lower limbs.
