ABSTRACT:
Oxygen is one of the most important necessities in our life such as air, water, food and vitamins. Deficiency in either the delivery or the utilization of oxygen at the tissue level leading to changes in functions, metabolisms and structures of cells and tissues of the body. A variety of pathological condition exist where the affected tissues are hypoxic or exhibit a low oxygen tension. Each of the billions of cells that make up the human body requires an adequate supply of oxygen for survival and optimum functioning. Cells and organisms are able to trigger an adaptive response to hypoxic conditions that is aimed to help them to cope with the life threatening conditions.
