Answer:

The correct answer will be option A-walking.

Explanation:

The spinal cord is a part of the central nervous system which carries the spinal nerves.  We depend on the spinal cord as it supports the main body posture of the body like standing upright, bending and twisting.

If this spinal cord is injured the person may suffer from various severe health implications like it will affect the walking ability as the spinal cord transmits the walking signals via neurons to the muscles in the legs which make them contract and relax. This contraction and relaxation produce the alternating movement of walking.

Thus, option A-walking is the correct answer.

Explain how the diaphragm aids in breathing.
zepelin [54]
The diaphragm is the large dome-shaped muscle that rests right under the lungs and separates the abdominal cavity from the thoracic cavity. The contractions of the diaphragm are what truly facilitate the movement of air in and out of the lungs. The contraction of the diaphragm, or breathing in, leaves more room in the chest cavity for the lungs to expand as the diaphragm "tightens". The expanded lungs are filled with oxygen-rich air which is then is diffused through capillaries to different parts of the body. The process of breathing out occurs when the diaphragm relaxes, slowly resuming its position its original position in the chest cavity. When relaxing, carbon dioxide is forced out of the lungs.

Hope this helped! :)
