Sternal angle marks the joint between the sternum and the 2nd rib.

Option E.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Sternum is the breast bone which is a dorsi ventrally flattened bone present in thorax of human. It gives the support for the ribs where the ribs join. A sternum has three parts - Manubrium sterni, body of sternum and the xyphoid process.

The sternum has attachments of a total of 10 ribs and clavicle. The clavicle and the first rib joins in the Manubrium sterni, and the 3rd to 10th rib joins in the body of sternum. The 2nd rib joins in a facet which is partly in Manubrium sterni and partly in body of sternum. This place id also called the sternal angle. So the sternal angle marks the joint of 2nd rib to sternum.

Answer:

The bacterium Vibrio cholerae is the primary cause of cholera disease that mainly infects the small intestine and primarily leads to the dehydration of the body.

Explanation:

The genetic analysis reveals that the aforementioned causative bacteria surpass the acidic conditions of the stomach and eventually reaches the intestinal wall and attaches to it. This is followed by the production of toxic protein by the bacterium. This protein is taken inside the cell via receptor mediated endocytosis followed by its binding to the host protein Arf6. This binding leads to the production of cAMP that results in the dehydration process. This mechanism leads to excessive accumulation of chloride ion in the intestine preventing the entry of sodium ion.

These two ions are associated with the creation of water-salt environment in the intestine that leads to tremendous diarrhea via the process of osmosis.

Hence, we can say that cholera bacterium affects the individuals at the cellular level and osmosis plays a vital role in the process.
