Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Hypoxia is a state in which oxygen is not available in sufficient amounts at the tissue level to maintain adequate homeostasis; this can result from inadequate oxygen delivery to the tissues either due to low blood supply or low oxygen content in the blood (hypoxemia).
Detailed explanation-2: -We concluded that carbon dioxide and hypoxia act synergistically in their control of CBF so that the delivery of oxygen to the brain is enhanced during hypoxic hypercapnia and, although reduced during normoxic hypocapnia, can be restored to normal levels with progressive hypoxia.
