Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Asphyxiation refers to the inability to breathe properly, which may be caused by choking, suffocation or respiratory failure. This can result in a lack of oxygen and an accumulation of carbon dioxide in the blood. Electric shock and neoplasia do not typically cause these symptoms. Poisoning may cause hypoxia and hypercapnia, but it is not specific to a lack of oxygen and accumulation of carbon dioxide in the blood.
