Question

multiple select question
select all that apply
choose all that are possible consequences of anemia.

hypoxia
decreased blood viscosity
decreased blood ph
decreased blood osmolarity

Explanation:

Anemia is a condition with low red blood cells or hemoglobin. Hemoglobin carries oxygen, so anemia can lead to hypoxia (low oxygen in tissues). Red blood cells contribute to blood viscosity; fewer red blood cells in anemia cause decreased blood viscosity. Anemia may lead to increased lactic acid (from hypoxia - induced anaerobic metabolism), lowering blood pH. Blood osmolarity is mainly from solutes like electrolytes; anemia doesn't directly affect solute concentration, so decreased blood osmolarity is not a consequence. So the correct options are Hypoxia, Decreased blood viscosity, and Decreased blood pH.

Answer:

A. Hypoxia, B. Decreased blood viscosity, C. Decreased blood pH
