Solution

Hypoxia - is a condition in which the body or a region of the body is deprived of adequate oxygen supply at the tissue level. It is caused by several extrinsic factors such as reduction in pO2, inadequate oxygen, etc.
Hypoxia may be classified as either generalised, affecting the whole body, or local, affecting a region of the body.
