Correct Answer is C
Explanation
A. Bronchomediastinal duct and subclavian duct: bronchomediastinal and subclavian are lymphatic trunks, not the two major collecting ducts.
B. Right and left thoracic ducts: there is a single thoracic duct (left-sided) and a separate right lymphatic duct; we do not have distinct “right and left thoracic ducts.”
C. Thoracic duct and right lymphatic duct: the thoracic duct drains most of the body into the left subclavian vein, and the right lymphatic duct drains the right head/neck, right upper limb, and right thorax into the right subclavian vein.
D. Lumbar duct and left lymphatic duct: “lumbar duct” is not a collecting duct term used in this context, and “left lymphatic duct” is another name sometimes used for the thoracic duct but paired with “lumbar duct” is not the standard two-collector pair.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
A. It causes extreme depression of the respiratory rate: CO binds hemoglobin and impairs O₂ delivery; respiratory depression is not the primary danger
B. It drastically decreases the pH of the blood: CO poisoning does not primarily cause a dramatic blood pH drop
C. It binds to the oxygen-binding site on hemoglobin, so the O₂-carrying ability of the blood is reduced: CO binds avidly to hemoglobin’s heme sites, displacing O₂ and reducing oxygen carriage and delivery
D. It triggers hyperventilation, causing a severe drop in PCO₂ and increase in blood pH: Hyperventilation is not the main mechanism of CO toxicity
