An axon is the extension of a neuron that carries messages away from the soma  

Explanation:

An axon is the segmented, slender, and long nerve fiber which is a projection of the neuron, the nerve cell.

An axon is the primary transmission line for electrical impulses. The main function of an axon is to conduct the electrical impulses or transmit the information away from the cell body (soma) of a nerve cell (neuron) to other neurons or the glands or muscles.

An axon varies in its length at different parts with the longest present in the sciatic nerve.

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The missing options are:

a. "It's due to insufficient production of vitamin B12 in the colon."

b. "Increased production of intrinsic factor in the stomach leads to this type of anemia."

c. "Overproduction of vitamin B12 in the large intestine can result in pernicious anemia."

d. "Decreased production of intrinsic factor by the stomach affects the absorption of vitamin B12 in the small intestine."

The correct answer is d. "Decreased production of intrinsic factor by the stomach affects the absorption of vitamin B12 in the small intestine."

Explanation:

Intrinsic factor is a protein that is produced by cells in the stomach, this protein is essential for the absorption of vitamin B12 in the small intestine. Without intrinsic factor, the absorption of vitamin B12 would be really low, causing pernicious anemia since vitamin B12 is necessary for the production of healthy red blood cells. If there is not a good production of healthy red blood cells that can distribute O₂ and CO₂, the body suffers from pernicious anemia.
