Question

A phenomenon that results in paleness of the skin from oxygen deficiency due to reduction of flow of blood caused by blood vessel and nerve spasms, and also results in decreased feelings in the hands is called:

A)
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

B)
Dupuytren's Contracture

C)
Raynaud's Phenomenon

D)
Reflex Sympathetic

Answer 1

The condition causing skin paleness and decreased sensation in the hands due to oxygen deficiency and blood flow reduction is known as Raynaud's Phenomenon.

Step-by-step explanation:

The phenomenon that results in paleness of the skin due to oxygen deficiency and reduction of blood flow, caused by blood vessel and nerve spasms, which also leads to decreased feelings in the hands, is known as C) Raynaud's Phenomenon.

This condition involves the constriction of small blood vessels in response to cold or stress, leading to reduced blood flow primarily to the extremities, such as the fingers and toes, resulting in a pale or white appearance. If left untreated, this lack of blood flow can lead to tissue damage. In contrast, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is related to compression of the median nerve in the wrist, and Dupuytren's Contracture involves abnormal thickening of the tissue beneath the skin in the palm, both of which differ from Raynaud's Phenomenon.
