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: -Hypoxia is deficiency in the amount of oxygen reaching the tissues.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hypoxia is a general term to describe a medical condition where there is not enough oxygen getting to your tissues. Hypoxemia can cause hypoxia, as hypoxemia leads to low tissues oxygen levels. So while both hypoxia and hypoxemia describe issues with oxygen reaching body tissue, these are two distinct conditions.
