When inspecting the tongue, the pallor is checked for _______ and _________

Correct Answer

Explanation
When inspecting the tongue, the pallor is checked for signs of anaemia and cyanosis. Pallor refers to a pale or whitish color of the skin, and when examining the tongue, it can indicate a lack of red blood cells (anaemia) or poor oxygenation (cyanosis). Anaemia is a condition characterized by low levels of red blood cells or hemoglobin, leading to a pale appearance. Cyanosis, on the other hand, is a bluish discoloration caused by insufficient oxygen in the blood. Therefore, checking for these signs can provide valuable information about a person's overall health and potential underlying conditions.
