Definitions Found:
a deficiency of oxygen in body tissue
- hypoxiaa deficiency of oxygen in body tissue
- hypoxiasHYPOXIA, a deficiency of oxygen in body tissue
- hypoxicpertaining to hypoxia (a deficiency of oxygen in body tissue)
- hypoxiasa deficiency of oxygen reaching the tissues of the body
- anoxemicdeficiency of oxygen in the arterial blood
- osteoporosisA medical condition in which the bones become brittle and fragile from loss of tissue, typically as a result of hormonal changes, or deficiency of calcium or vitamin D
- estronea natural estrogenic hormone that is a ketone C18H22O2 found in the body chiefly as a metabolite of estradiol, that is also secreted especially by the ovaries, and that is used to treat various conditions (as ovarian failure and menopausal symptoms) relating to estrogen deficiency
- eutrophic(of a lake or other body of water) Rich in nutrients and so supporting a dense plant population, the decomposition of which kills animal life by depriving it of oxygen
- bloodthe fluid that circulates in the heart, arteries, capillaries, and veins of a vertebrate animal carrying nourishment and oxygen to and bringing away waste products from all parts of the body
- spongesA primitive sedentary aquatic invertebrate with a soft porous body that is typically supported by a framework of fibers or calcareous or glassy spicules. Sponges draw in a current of water to extract nutrients and oxygen
- eutrophicationExcessive richness of nutrients in a lake or other body of water, frequently due to runoff from the land, which causes a dense growth of plant life and death of animal life from lack of oxygen
- carbohydrateAny of a large group of organic compounds occurring in foods and living tissues and including sugars, starch, and cellulose. They contain hydrogen and oxygen in the same ratio as water (2:1) and typically can be broken down to release energy in the animal body

- anoxicabnormally low amount of oxygen in the body tissues; hypoxia
- anoxiasabnormally low amount of oxygen in the body tissues; hypoxia
- anoxiaabnormally low amount of oxygen in the body tissues; hypoxia
- systemicDenoting the part of the circulatory system concerned with the transportation of oxygen to and carbon dioxide from the body in general, esp. as distinct from the pulmonary part concerned with the transportation of oxygen from and carbon dioxide to the lungs
- dystrophiesA disorder in which an organ or tissue of the body wastes away
- dystrophyA disorder in which an organ or tissue of the body wastes away
- recruitmentThe incorporation into a tissue or region of cells from elsewhere in the body
- neoplasmsA new and abnormal growth of tissue in some part of the body, esp. as a characteristic of cancer
- somatopleureA layer of tissue in a vertebrate embryo comprising the ectoderm and the outer layer of mesoderm, and giving rise to the amnion, the chorion, and part of the body wall
- musclesA band or bundle of fibrous tissue in a human or animal body that has the ability to contract, producing movement in or maintaining the position of parts of the body
- somatopleuresA layer of tissue in a vertebrate embryo comprising the ectoderm and the outer layer of mesoderm, and giving rise to the amnion, the chorion, and part of the body wall
- electrograma tracing of the electrical potentials of a tissue (as the brain or heart) made by means of electrodes placed directly in the tissue instead of on the surface of the body
- electrogramsELECTROGRAM, a tracing of the electrical potentials of a tissue (as the brain or heart) made by means of electrodes placed directly in the tissue instead of on the surface of the body
- kidneyone of a pair of vertebrate organs situated in the body cavity near the spinal column that excrete waste products of metabolism, in humans are bean-shaped organs about 41/2 inches (111/2 centimeters) long lying behind the peritoneum in a mass of fatty tissue, and consist chiefly of nephrons by which urine is secreted, collected, and discharged into a main cavity whence it is conveyed by the ureter to the bladder
