The correct answer is "megaloblastic anemia".

In the event of deficiency of folic acid and/or vitamin B12, there will be inhibition of DNA synthesis in red blood cell precursors as well as other cells in the myeloid lineage. This results to continuous cell growth without cell division leading to large, immature red blood cells (hence the term megaloblastic) with low hemoglobin levels. Vitamin B12 deficiency particularly causes neuropathic symptoms such as neuropathic pain and numbness.

If megaloblastic anemia is caused by the resection of the portion of stomach that produces the intrinsic factor (important in the absorption of vitamin B12), then the condition is called pernicious anemia.

Study the diagram below. In which order does oxygen flow through the human circulatory system?
anyanavicka [17]
The order of flow of oxygen within the human body may be described simply. Oxygen first is inhaled through the nasal cavity and then passes through the trachea, through the bronchi and into the lungs. In the lungs, the oxygen is passed into the blood stream through the alveoli and then is carried to the heart. The heart pumps this oxygenated blood throughout the body, primarily to organs and muscle cells, where it is consumed in respiration and is converted to carbon dioxide and excreted.

Hydrothermal vents pump super heated salt water into the ocean that is filled with various minerals. Because of this, there is a
pychu [463]
This is absolutely false.
There is a wide diversity of life teaming around hydrothermal vents. These communities include primary producer organisms, but instead of obtaining energy from the sun, these bacteria use a process called chemosynthesis to convert minerals and other chemicals in the water into energy. These bacteria support a wide range of other animal species, including giant tube worms, deep sea mussels, serpulid or “feather duster” worms, and vent crabs, the apex predator of the vent community.
