Anaemic Hypoxiai. Arterial PO2 is normal but amount of Hb available to carry O2 is reducedii. Chemoreceptors are not stimulated, since dissolved O2 in blood is enough to keep these receptors normal.c. Stagnant or ischemic hypoxiai. Normal PO2 and Hb cone.ii. Blood flow to tissue is so slow that adequate O2 is not deliverediii. Chemoreceptor are strongly stimulated.d. Histotoxic Hypoxia: -i.
