∙ 11y agoNo. Anemia's formal definition is when the body doesn't contain enough red blood cells (whether it's aplastic, hemorrhagic, sickle-cell, pernicious, dietary, or hemolytic [there are a lot more]). These red blood cells, or RBCs, transport Oxygen to various tissues within the body. If anything, a decrease in Oxygen would increase blood pressure because your body will try to work harder to pump the O2 to all of your vital organs. Massive blood loss, or hemorrhagic anemia could cause low blood pressure due to your body going into Shock, but if that were the case, you probably wouldn't be typing this question right now. So, I think the important part is differentiating between what anemia is and what low blood pressure is. Remember, you can have enough blood in anemia [but your hemoglobin function could be poor, and that won't carry your Oxygen well], or you could just remember that hypotension, or low blood pressure, is just the inability for the blood to circulate throughout the body efficiently.

How does blood pressure make blood move though the various regions of the cardiovascular system?
Blood pressure is the actual pressure of blood traveling in the arteries of the body. Blood pressure is caused by the force of a pump (the heart) pumping blood into the arteries which have tight walls. The pressure of the blood results in the blood circulating just as water pressure will result in water circulating to any pipes attached to a water pump. When a person has very low blood pressure the blood does not circulate much and the person is said to be "in shock." When a person has no blood pressure the blood does not circulate at all and the person is dead.
