A condition in which there is a decrease of oxygen to the tissue despite adequate blood flow to the tissue is_________?
Correct answer: C. Hypoxia
- A. Aphasia
- B. Dysphasia
- C. Hypoxia
- D. None
Explanation
Hypoxia means inadequate oxygen availability to body tissues; it can occur even when blood flow is adequate if oxygen delivery or cellular use is impaired. Students may choose one of the aphasia terms because both describe functional problems, but aphasia and dysphasia concern language, not tissue oxygen deficiency.

About Human Respiratory System
The human respiratory system conducts air to the alveoli, where oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange occurs across thin respiratory surfaces. Questions cover the nasal passage, trachea, bronchi, lungs, diaphragm and intercostal muscles, ventilation mechanics and gas transport, while distinguishing breathing and gaseous exchange from cellular respiration.
