Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In shock,impaired cellular metabolism is caused by inadequate tissue perfusion.
Impairment of cellular metabolism is the result of inadequate tissue perfusion; toxic substances could develop,but it would be secondary to the inadequate perfusion.
Free radicals are not the cause of impaired cellular metabolism.
Lack of inadequate tissue perfusion leads to impaired cellular metabolism; lack of nervous control would lead to vasodilation,but perfusion still occurs.
