Answer to Question 1

The extensive tissue damage that sometimes develops in chronic gastritis can disrupt gastric secretory functions. If hydrochloric acid secretions become abnormally low (hypochlorhydria) or absent (achlorhydria), absorption of nonheme iron and vitamin B12 can be impaired, increasing the risk of deficiency. Pernicious anemia, characterized by autoimmune destruction of the gastric cells that produce hydrochloric acid and intrinsic factor, is a form of atrophic gastritis that is usually associated with the macrocytic anemia of vitamin B12 deficiency

Answer to Question 2

False
