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.
