Hypoxia

Hypoxia is a medical term that refers to a body’s state when there is a lack of oxygen for the normal functioning of the body.

Generalised hypoxia is the state when the body as a whole has a lack of oxygen. Tissue hypoxia is where a specific area of the body lacks oxygen.

Total lack of oxygen is called anoxia.
