Question

Primary ciliary dyskinesia is a disease that affects the body's cilia. The cilia do not move as often as they should or in the direction they should. Which of the following is a likely effect of this disease?

Decreased lung volume
Damage to the capillaries
Frequent respiratory infections
Lack of gas exchange in the alveoli

Answer 1

I think the answer to this would be frequent respiratory infections.

Step-by-step explanation:

Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia is caused by genetic mutations that affect the tiny hairline cilia in the lungs, nose, and ears, impairing their ability to remove germs and pollutants, allowing mucus buildup and infection.
