Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anoxia is when there is a lack of oxygen to the brain. The other options, cerebral hemorrhaging and cerebral palsy, are conditions that can result due to lack of oxygen, but they are not the direct result of lack of oxygen itself. Couvade is not related to lack of oxygen at all; it refers to the experience of symptoms of pregnancy by the expectant father.
