Histotoxic hypoxia

Anemic hypoxia

Hypercapnic hypoxia

What is the primary symptom of hypoxia?

Cyanosis

Tachycardia

Bradypnea

Hypertension

Which of the following is a treatment option for hypoxia?

Administering supplemental oxygen

Increasing carbon dioxide levels

Inducing hyperventilation

Administering diuretics

What is the term for the inability of the blood to transport sufficient oxygen to tissues?

Hypoxemia

Anoxia

Cyanosis

Anemic hypoxia

Which organ is particularly vulnerable to the effects of hypoxia?

Liver

Kidney

Heart

Brain

What is the primary cause of hypoxic hypoxia?

Low oxygen content in the air

Impaired lung function

Insufficient blood circulation

Inability of cells to use oxygen

Which condition is characterized by tissue hypoxia despite adequate oxygen delivery?

Anemic hypoxia

Cyanotic hypoxia

Histotoxic hypoxia

Stagnant hypoxia

What is the difference between hypoxemia and hypoxia?

Hypoxemia is low oxygen in the tissues, while hypoxia is low oxygen in the blood.

Hypoxemia is low oxygen in the blood, while hypoxia is low oxygen in the tissues.

Hypoxemia is caused by impaired lung function, while hypoxia is caused by insufficient blood circulation.

Hypoxemia is reversible, while hypoxia is irreversible.

#10

What is the normal range of arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) in healthy individuals?

Below 80%

80-90%

90-100%

Above 100%

#11

What is the main mechanism by which histotoxic hypoxia impairs cellular function?

Decreased oxygen content in the blood

Impaired ability of cells to use oxygen

Decreased blood flow to tissues

Impaired lung function

Insufficient oxygen content in the air

Decreased blood flow to tissues

Inability of cells to use oxygen

#13

What is the Bohr effect?

A phenomenon where low pH decreases the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen

A phenomenon where high pH increases the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen

A phenomenon where low carbon dioxide levels increase the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen

A phenomenon where high carbon dioxide levels decrease the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen

#14

Which of the following is a complication of chronic hypoxia?

Hyperoxemia

Pulmonary hypertension

Respiratory alkalosis

Decreased cardiac output
