Word of the day
Hypoxia
Also known as anoxia. Lack of oxygen delivery to a cell, resulting in low energy production and possible cell death.
For similar information see Types of stroke
Hypoxia is when your cells don’t get enough oxygen.
This means they don’t produce much energy.
The cells might even die.
