Abstract:
The new classifications of hypoxical, hypo- and hypercapnical conditions are elaborated. They take into account the ecological factors in the development of various kinds of exogenic hypoxia, hypercapnia. For the first time the positive sides of physiological hypoxia and hypercapnia are brought in. In all classification til the last days hypoxia was considered as pathological process only. However hypoxia can be met in different physiologic conditions of organism: internal period of fetus development, hard physical work, increased sportsmen activity, hypoxia after hearty meal, hypoxia of aged organism. The same it is possible to say about the hypo- and hypercapnical conditions.

Types of Hypoxia
There are four primary types of hypoxia, each resulting from a different cause:
1. Anemic hypoxia: This type occurs due to insufficient oxygen delivery caused by a lack of red blood cells (RBCs) or RBCs with abnormal or...
