the state, during which respiratory centre is inhibited, is termed as

1. anoxia
2. asphyxia
3. suffocation
4. choking

Correct answer is option 2.

Asphyxiaorasphyxiation is a condition of severely deficient supply of oxygento thebodythat arises from abnormalbreathing. An example of asphyxia ischoking. Asphyxia causesgeneralized hypoxia, which primarily affects the tissues and organs. There are many circumstances that can induce asphyxia, all of which are characterized by an inability of an individual to acquire sufficient oxygen through breathing for an extended period of time. Asphyxia can cause coma or death.
