Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cyanide poisoning causes histotoxic hypoxia, as it impairs the ability of cells to use oxygen for cellular respiration, leading to decreased tissue oxygenation. Anemic hypoxia is caused by a decrease in the amount of hemoglobin or red blood cells, circulatory hypoxia is caused by impaired blood flow, and hypoxic hypoxia is caused by a decrease in the partial pressure of oxygen in the blood.
