6. Histotoxic Hypoxia

In histotoxic hypoxia, the tissue cells receive the correct levels of oxygen but are poisoned or damaged and cannot make use of the oxygen they receive. The blood is healthy, the lungs function normally, and the hemoglobin levels are capable of carrying the oxygen, but the destination tissues are unable to correctly utilize the oxygen sent to them, due to some physical injury or other impairment.
