Hypoxia means a lower than normal level of oxygen, and may refer to:
Reduced or insufficient oxygen
*
Hypoxia (environmental)
Hypoxia refers to low oxygen conditions. Normally, 20.9% of the gas in the atmosphere is oxygen. The partial pressure of oxygen in the atmosphere is 20.9% of the total barometric pressure. In water, oxygen levels are much lower, approximately 7 p ...
, abnormally low oxygen content of the specific environment
*
Hypoxia (medical)
Hypoxia is a condition in which the body or a region of the body is deprived of 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 bo ...
, abnormally low level of oxygen in the tissues
**
Autoerotic hypoxia
Erotic asphyxiation (variously called asphyxiophilia, hypoxyphilia or breath control play) is the intentional restriction of oxygen to the brain for the purposes of sexual arousal. The term autoerotic asphyxiation is used when the act is done ...
or erotic asphyxiation, intentional restriction of oxygen to the brain for sexual arousal
**
Cerebral hypoxia, a reduced supply of oxygen to the brain
**
Diffusion hypoxia
The Fink effect, also known as "diffusion anoxia", "diffusion hypoxia",
or the "second gas effect",
is a factor that influences the pO2 (partial pressure of oxygen) within the pulmonary alveoli. When water-soluble gases such as anesthetic agent ...
or Fink effect, a factor that influences the partial pressure of oxygen within the pulmonary alveolus
**
Histotoxic hypoxia
Histotoxic hypoxia (also called histoxic hypoxia) is the inability of cells to take up or use oxygen from the bloodstream, despite physiologically normal delivery of oxygen to such cells and tissues. Histotoxic hypoxia results from tissue poisonin ...
, the inability of cells to take up or use oxygen from the bloodstream
**
Hypoxemic hypoxia
Hypoxemia is an abnormally low level of oxygen in the blood. More specifically, it is oxygen deficiency in arterial blood. Hypoxemia has many causes, and often causes hypoxia as the blood is not supplying enough oxygen to the tissues of the body. ...
or hypoxemia, a deficiency of oxygen in arterial blood
**
Hypoxic hypoxia, a result of insufficient oxygen available to the lungs
**
Intrauterine hypoxia, when a fetus is deprived of an adequate supply of oxygen
**
Generalized hypoxia is hypoxia distributed amongst all tissues
**
Latent hypoxia is artificially raised oxygen concentration in the blood due to high ambient pressure and will reduce when the pressure is reduced to normal, associated with freediving blackout.
**
Pseudohypoxia, increased cytosolic ratio of free NADH to NAD
+ in cells
**
Tumor hypoxia, the situation where tumor cells have been deprived of oxygen
*
Hypoxia in fish, responses of fish to hypoxia
