The type of hypoxia present in high attitude is_____________?
Correct answer: D. Hypoxic Hypoxia
- A. Anemic Hypoxia
- B. Histotoxic Hypoxia
- C. Stagnant Hypoxia
- D. Hypoxic Hypoxia
Explanation
At high altitude, reduced atmospheric pressure lowers inspired and arterial PO₂, producing hypoxic or hypoxemic hypoxia. The other types result from reduced haemoglobin, impaired blood flow, or inability of tissues to use oxygen.
