What kind of cells keep the body from working properly?
Sickle Cells?
How could the structure of the sickle cells be related to pain in body tissues?
The sickle cells cause the pain in body tissue and the pain could also be caused by lack of oxygen.
Sickle-shaped red blood cells carry less oxygen than healthy cells. What is another side effect of this disease?
Another side effect of sickle cell disease is the tendency for sickle-shaped red blood cells to get stuck in blood vessels, leading to blockages that can cause pain, organ damage, and even stroke.
What can't sickle shaped cells carry enough for the body?
oxygen
How does Sickle cell anemia affect the body?
it blocks other blood cells
Why are sickle cells sickle?
because they can
You have sickle cell anemia what will folic acid do for your sickle cell anemia?
Folic acid helps the body make red blood cells and can improve the symptoms of anemia by supporting the production of healthy red blood cells. However, folic acid supplements will not directly affect the underlying cause of sickle cell anemia, which is a genetic disorder affecting hemoglobin.
What parts of the body are affected by sickle cell disease?
Sickle Cell disease is a genetic desease that often effect humans with and African background. It is a mutation that makes the read blood cells in our body to look different an have a abnormal form. These blood cells are shown to have a good effect on protecting the human body against malaria and other types of diseases and that's why the mutation is still common in Africa but the disease is recessive so both parents have to have the disease to pass it on to there child. But the negative effects that are caused by this disease is that the spleen that are located on the top of the left kidney breaks down these unnormal blood cells and that couses a blood shortage in the body. Those unnormal blood cells also are lack oxygen. These two things are common and effects the organs and the whole system in our body.
Do sickle cells have a nucleus?
"Sickle cells" refers to an abnormal shape (rather like a sickle) of red blood cells. Red blood cells in humans do not have a nucleus.
What are Sickle cells like?
Sickle cells are also less flexible and stickier than normal red blood cells
Why sickle anemia not infected by malaria?
People with sickle cell anemia possess a genetic mutation that causes their red blood cells to assume a crescent or sickle shape. This altered shape makes it more difficult for the malaria parasite, Plasmodium, to thrive and reproduce within these cells. Additionally, the sickle cells are more likely to be destroyed by the body, reducing the number of cells available for the malaria parasite to infect. As a result, individuals with sickle cell anemia have a higher resistance to malaria compared to those with normal hemoglobin.
