People with two copies of the sickle cell gene have the disease. People who carry only one copy of the sickle cell gene do not have the disease, but may pass the gene on to their children. Abnormal hemoglobin, called hemoglobin S, causes sickle cell disease (SCD). The problem in hemoglobin S is caused by a small defect in the gene that directs the production of the beta globin part of hemoglobin. This small defect in the beta globin gene causes a problem in the beta globin part of hemoglobin, changing the way that hemoglobin works.

Question :</h2>
Which of the following is not a function of cerebrospinal fluid?
A) acts as a transport medium for waste products
B) provides cushioning for delicate neural tissues
C) provides buoyant support for the brain
D) produces ATP for impulse transmission
E) acts as a transport medium for nutrients
Answer:
D) produces ATP for impulse transmission
Explanation:
CSF doesn't produce ATP for the impulse transmission hence option D is the right option.
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) performs following functions :
1) Protects the brain and spinal cord from trauma
2) It supplies nutrients to the nervous tissues
3) It removes the waste products from cerebral metabolism.
