Which type of hypoxia is caused by hypoventilation,high altitudes,diffusion defects,and V/Q mismatch?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hypoxemic hypoxia is caused by a decrease in the partial pressure of oxygen in the arterial blood. This can be due to factors such as hypoventilation, high altitudes, diffusion defects (such as in pulmonary fibrosis), and V/Q (ventilation/perfusion) mismatch (such as in pulmonary embolism or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Anemic hypoxia is caused by a decrease in the amount of hemoglobin or red blood cells available to carry oxygen. Circulatory hypoxia is caused by a decrease in the blood flow or perfusion to the tissues.
