"Pallor" in context

Pallor is an interesting and complex medical term that can be defined as a marked paleness in the skin or mucous membranes of a human or animal body. It is usually due to reduced blood circulation, which causes less oxygen and other nutrients to be available in the bloodstream, resulting in a diminished skin tone. Pallor is most often associated with anemia, which is a condition characterized by a deficiency of the oxygen-carrying red blood cells. Pale skin may also be a symptom of certain illnesses, such as cancer, malaria, and other infections. Additionally, pallor can be caused by nervousness and fear, shock, and sunburn.
