The following points highlight the four main types of hypoxia. The types are: 1. Hypoxic Hypoxia 2. Anemic Hypoxia 3. Stagnant Hypoxia 4. Histo-toxic Hypoxia. Type # 1. Hypoxic Hypoxia: This is characterized by normal oxygen capacity but diminished oxygen tension in the arterial blood with the result of varying degree of hemoglobin unsaturation. (a) High Altitude: Hypoxia is caused [...]
