Answer:
Hi! your question is incomplete.
The complete question is:
"Due to a skiing accident, a young man suffered an injury to his spinal cord at the first thoracic vertebrae. What major functions could be lost due to his injury?
A. Breathing
B. Blinking
C. Bending
D. Chewing"
The answer is C. Bending
Explanation:
The injury to the spinal cord at the first thoracic vertebrate can't affect chewing nor blinking because that's a central function located in the brain. Breathing function is located in the medulla oblongata. So it's C, bending.
In addition, if it's a complete spinal chord injury located in the first thoracic vertebrae, the young man won't have any funtion below the injury, so, his arms and legs will be affected. If it's an incomplete spinal chord injury, the young man can have some function below the injury.
