hypoxia and its types

Question 1

what is hypoxia

Answer 1

insufficient supply of oxygen to the body cells

Question 2

what are the types of hypoxia

Answer 2

hypoxic
hypemic
histotoxic
stagnant

Question 3

hypoxic hypoxia

Answer 3

• insufficient oxygen to the WHOLE BODY
• altitude increases = pressure decreases ( o2 % stays the same tho)
• decreased pressure become insufficient for the o2 molecules to pass through the respiratory systems membrane

Question 4

hypemic hypoxia

Answer 4

• INABILITY of the BLOOD TO CARRY o2
• may be a result of insufficient blood (bleeding or blood donation), anemia or CO poisoning

Question 5

hypemic hypoxia

Answer 5

• INABILITY of the BLOOD TO CARRY o2
• may be a result of insufficient blood (bleeding or blood donation), anemia or CO poisoning

Question 6

histotoxic hypoxia

Answer 6

• INABILITY of the BODY CELLS to USE the o2 supplied by the blood
• caused by suing alcohol or drugs

Question 7

stagnant hypoxia

Answer 7

• blood NOT FLOWING efficiently
• caused by heart problems, excessive acceleration (Gs), shock, or a constricted blood vessel
• cold temperatures can restrict circulation & decrease blood supplied to the extremities
