Cyanosis does not occur in severe anemia because -

Hypoxia stimulates erythropoietin production

Oxygen carrying capacity of available Hb is increased

Critical concentration of Hb required to produce Cyanosis is reduced

Oxygen hemoglobin curve shift to the right

High-Yield Explanation

Ans. (c) Critical concentration of Hb required to produce Cyanosis is reduced(Ref: Ganongy 25th ed/p.646)Cyanosis is not seen in anemic hypoxia because critical concentration of Hb required to produce cyanosis is reduced
