Normoxia

Normoxia refers to a state where the body or tissues are exposed to a normal level of oxygen, which is what we typically experience at sea level. It means there is a sufficient and balanced amount of oxygen available in the bloodstream to meet the body's needs for healthy functioning. This contrasts with conditions like hypoxia (low oxygen levels) or hyperoxia (excess oxygen). Maintaining normoxia is vital for proper cellular processes, energy production, and overall health. It is the natural and optimal oxygen environment for most of the body's tissues under normal conditions.
