Question

Cilia are found on cells in almost every organ of the human body, and the malfunction of cilia is involved in several human disorders. During embryological development, for example, cilia generate a leftward flow of fluid that initiates the left-right organization of the body organs. Some individuals with primary ciliary dyskinesia exhibit a condition (situs inversus) in which internal organs such as the heart are on the wrong side of the body. Explain why this reversed arrangement may be a symptom of PCD.

Accepted Answer

Hey everyone, Let's take a look at this question together, cilia, which resemble hair like projections line the bronchus in the lungs and move microbes and debris up and out of the airways? What happens to the cilia in the respiratory tract? If a person is a chronic smoker, a person who is a chronic smoker likely uses more tobacco. And so because of this increase in tobacco use and a larger amount of smoke in the lungs, this will affect the cilia and cause them to become paralyzed and eventually die from tobacco smoke. Or answer choice. A because we know that smoke and tobacco will paralyze and eventually kill the cilia, which means that they are less likely to develop more. We know that they become less active, which means that it does have an effect on the cilia. So B. C. And D. Are incorrect. And we also know that it makes you more prone to illness like pneumonia and bronchitis and also smoking can lead to asthma. And so answer choice A is the only correct answer here. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
