  7. What is each symptom a result of, and what can it lead to? blue tinge to skin, inactive, and lethargic • oxygen depletion • poor blood circulation • mitochondrial malfunction – abnormal cellular respiration

  8. What is each symptom a result of, and what can it lead to? low body temperature • lack of water • low metabolism
