Answer:

Diabetes is the probable homeostatic disorder that caused neuropathy.

Explanation:

Neuropathy is a common condition that affects peripheral nerves, responsible for forwarding information from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. Peripheral neuropathy can cause permanent nerve damage and is often a disabling and even fatal problem.

When the damage occurs in several nerves, as it did with Shanna (neuropathy affected her entire leg), it is usually the diabetes behind it. At least half of people with this condition develop some type of neuropathy, as there are several forms of neuropathy caused by diabetes.

What is hemoglobin? (Do not copy word for word from internet please). I need a very detailed description.
goblinko [34]

Hello!

Hemoglobin is the protein which carries oxygen by binding to it. Hemoglobin is found in red blood cells. This protein is extremely important as it allows respiration to be carried out, and transports oxygen to the rest of our bodies.

Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli (in our lungs) through capillaries into the blood. From there, the hemoglobin in the blood will take the oxygen, and bring it to the other parts of the body which need it. This also allows continued diffusion into the capillaries.

Hope this helps!

This question does not make sense. If you are positive then you legally have to clarify that you are HIV positive. Please ask questions that are clear and concise. If it is a riddle then please do not put the question into the health category. Thanks.
