Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hypoxic hypoxia is the type of hypoxia that occurs at high altitudes due to a decrease in the partial pressure of oxygen in the air. This can lead to decreased oxygen saturation in the blood and tissue hypoxia. Histotoxic hypoxia is the inability of the cells to use oxygen due to a toxic metabolic condition, hypocapnia is a decrease in carbon dioxide levels in the blood and anaemic hypoxia is a decrease in the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood due to a decrease in red blood cells or haemoglobin.
