After an industrial accident, a man was exposed to potassium cyanide, which resulted in cytochrome oxidase blockade in this man. What pathological process can be observed in the patient in this case?
- A. Tissue hypoxia
- B. Respiratory hypoxia
- C. Hemic hypoxia
- D. Hypoxic hypoxia
- E. Circulatory hypoxia
Hint
Compare the types of hypoxia by what is impaired: oxygen in the inspired air, gas exchange, oxygen-carrying capacity of blood, blood flow, or something inside the cell; then ask what cytochrome oxidase does.
