Hypoxia means a lower than normal level of oxygen, and may refer to:
Reduced or insufficient oxygen
*
Hypoxia (environmental)
Hypoxia (''hypo'': 'below', ''oxia'': 'oxygenated') refers to low oxygen conditions. Hypoxia is problematic for air-breathing organisms, yet it is essential for many anaerobic organisms. Hypoxia applies to many situations, but usually refers t ...
, abnormally low oxygen content of a specific environment
**
Hypoxia in fish
Fish are exposed to large oxygen fluctuations in their aquatic environment since the inherent properties of water can result in marked spatial and temporal differences in the concentration of oxygen (see oxygenation and underwater). Fish respond t ...
, responses of fish to hypoxia

Hypoxia (medical)
Hypoxia is a condition in which the body or a region of the body is deprived of an adequate oxygen supply at the tissue (biology), tissue level. Hypoxia may be classified as either ''Generalized hypoxia, generalized'', affecting the whole body, ...
, abnormally low level of oxygen in the tissues
**
Autoerotic hypoxia or erotic asphyxiation, intentional restriction of oxygen to the brain for sexual arousal
**
Cerebral hypoxia
Cerebral hypoxia is a form of Hypoxia (medical), hypoxia (reduced supply of oxygen), specifically involving the human brain, brain; when the brain is completely deprived of oxygen, it is called ''cerebral anoxia''. There are four categories of c ...
, a reduced supply of oxygen to the brain
**
Diffusion hypoxia or Fink effect, a factor that influences the partial pressure of oxygen within the pulmonary alveoli
**
Histotoxic hypoxia, the inability of cells to take up or use oxygen from the bloodstream
**
Anemic hypoxia, Blood is not able to take sufficient amount of oxygen due to Anemia
**
**
Hypoxemic hypoxia or hypoxemia, a deficiency of oxygen in arterial blood
**
Hypoxic hypoxia
Generalized hypoxia is a medical condition in which the tissues of the body are deprived of the necessary levels of oxygen due to an insufficient supply of oxygen, which may be due to the composition or pressure of the breathing gas, decreased lu ...
, a result of insufficient oxygen available to the lungs
**
Intrauterine hypoxia
Intrauterine hypoxia (also known as fetal hypoxia) occurs when the fetus is deprived of an adequate supply of oxygen. It may be due to a variety of reasons such as prolapse or occlusion of the umbilical cord, placental infarction, maternal dia ...
, when a fetus is deprived of an adequate supply of oxygen
**
Generalized hypoxia is hypoxia distributed amongst all tissues
**
Latent hypoxia is artificially raised oxygen concentration in the blood due to high ambient pressure and will reduce when the pressure is reduced to normal, associated with freediving blackout.
**
Pseudohypoxia, increased cytosolic ratio of free NADH to NAD
+ in cells
**
Tumor hypoxia
Tumor hypoxia is the situation where tumor cells have been deprived of oxygen. As a tumor grows, it rapidly outgrows its blood supply, leaving portions of the tumor with regions where the oxygen concentration is significantly lower than in healt ...
, the situation where tumor cells have been deprived of oxygen

In medicine, the pulse refers to the rhythmic pulsations (expansion and contraction) of an artery in response to the cardiac cycle (heartbeat). The pulse may be felt ( palpated) in any place that allows an artery to be compressed near the surfac ...
