The type of glial cells are particularly at risk from the disease are the Schwann cells. This disease is caused by a bacterium, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, and is caused when the bacteria releases a toxin, or poison, into a person's body. The Schwann cells produces insulating myelin sheath that covers the axons of many neurons. These cells may suffers immune or toxic attacks with diphtheria infection.
The correct answer is option B. Higher levels of haemoglobin
A higher level of the haemoglobin allows the organism to survive in low oxygen condition. The low oxygen level decreases the amount of oxygen delivered to the cells, to cope up this condition, there is an increase in the haemoglobin content. The increased haemoglobin concentration allows the delivery of the sufficient amount of oxygen, as the number of haemoglobin increase, the capacity of oxygen carried to the cell is increased.
The best answer to fill in the blank would be A).
