Questions and Answers

What are the four types of hypoxia?

Hypoxic, Anemic, Stagnant, Histotoxic

What is Hypoxic hypoxia?

The blood flow is reduced or unevenly distributed.

The tissue cells are poisoned and unable to use oxygen.

The amount of functional hemoglobin is too small.

The oxygen pressure in the blood going to the tissues is too low. (correct)

What is Anemic hypoxia?

The blood flow is reduced or unevenly distributed.

The oxygen pressure in the blood is too low.

The tissue cells are poisoned.

The amount of functional hemoglobin is too small. (correct)

Study Notes

Types of Hypoxia

Four main types of hypoxia: Hypoxemic, Anemic, Stagnant, Histotoxic.

Hypoxemic Hypoxia

Characterized by low oxygen pressure in the blood, leading to insufficient saturation of hemoglobin.
Results in inadequate oxygen delivery to tissues.

Anemic Hypoxia

Occurs when there is an insufficient amount of functional hemoglobin in the blood.
The decreased hemoglobin capacity limits the blood's ability to transport oxygen effectively.

Stagnant Hypoxia

The blood may be normal in composition, but there is reduced or uneven blood flow to tissues.
This form can be caused by various factors that affect circulation, leading to localized oxygen deficiency.

Histotoxic Hypoxia

Involves poisoning of tissue cells, which impairs their ability to utilize oxygen.
Can be a result of various diseases affecting blood, heart, circulation, and lungs, leading to cellular dysfunction.
