Anoxia is a condition characterized by an absence of oxygen supply to an organ or a tissue. Anoxia results when oxygen is not being delivered to a part of the body. If the condition does not involve total oxygen deprivation, it is often called hypoxia, although the two terms have been used interchangeably. A related condition, anoxemia, occurs when the blood circulates but contains a below normal amount of oxygen. The five types of anoxia or hypoxia include hypoxemic, anemic, affinity, stagnant, and histotoxic.
