Article Excerpts about Hypoxia

Specifically, anoxia is a condition in which there is an absence of oxygen supply to an organ's tissues although there is adequate blood flow to the tissue. Hypoxia is a condition in which there is a decrease of oxygen to the tissue in spite of adequate blood flow to the tissue. Anoxia and hypoxia, however, are often used interchangeably—without regard to their specific meanings—to describe a condition that occurs in an organ when there is a diminished supply of oxygen to the organ's tissues. (Source: excerpt from NINDS Anoxia-Hypoxia Information Page: NINDS)

Definitions of Hypoxia:

Hypoxia: Decrease below normal levels of oxygen in inspired gases, arterial blood, or tissue, without reaching anoxia. [hypo- + oxygen]
