Oxygen Decreased Common Cellular Injury Underlying Process Disease

Hypoxia, a decrease in oxygen, is the most common cause of cellular injury, often underlying other causes of disease, leading to little or no energy production and the inability of the cell to function normally.

L'ipossia, una diminuzione dell'ossigeno, è la causa più comune di lesioni cellulari, spesso sottostante ad altre cause di malattia, che porta a una ridotta o nulla produzione di energia e all'incapacità della cellula di funzionare normalmente.

- often underlying process in other causes of disease
- w/out oxygen there is little or no energy production
-w/out energy, normal cell function cannot proceed
