hypoxia

condition in which the body or a region of the body is deprived of adequate oxygen supply at the tissue level

AI overview

Hypoxia is a condition where your body or part of your body doesn't get enough oxygen to function properly. This matters because cells need oxygen to work effectively, so without adequate oxygen supply, tissues can become damaged and organs can fail.

Article

Hypoxia is a condition in which the body or a region of the body is deprived of an adequate oxygen supply at the tissue level. Hypoxia may be classified as either generalized, affecting the whole body, or local, affecting a region of the body. Although hypoxia is often a pathological condition, variations in arterial oxygen concentrations can be part of the normal physiology, for example, during strenuous physical exercise.

Hypoxia differs from hypoxemia and anoxemia, in that hypoxia refers to a state in which oxygen present in a tissue or the whole body is insufficient, whereas hypoxemia and anoxemia refer specifically to states that have low or no oxygen in the blood. Hypoxia in which there is complete absence of oxygen supply is referred to as anoxia.
