The term for a low amount of oxygen in blood is called cyanosis. It refers to the bluish color of some body tissues, like the lips, because cyan is the name of a shade of the color blue. Or it can be called anemia if it is due to the low number of healthy red blood cells that carry oxygen.
Where does oxygen pass into your blood?
