__________is a condition in which there is an absence of oxygen supply to an organ's tissues?
Correct answer: A. Anoxia
- A. Anoxia
- B. Anorexia
- C. Hypoxia
- D. Enuresis
Explanation
Anoxia means complete absence, or near-complete absence, of oxygen supply to tissues, whereas hypoxia means reduced oxygen supply. Anorexia is loss of appetite and enuresis is involuntary urination, so students may choose hypoxia when they remember oxygen deficiency but overlook the word “absence.”
