How does Sickle cell anemia affect the body?
it blocks other blood cells
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.
How does the role of a hemoglobin relate to anemia?
There is a type of Anemia called Sickle Cell Anemia, meaning the red blood cells are a sickle shape. The hemoglobin in the body doesn't work right, meaning that it blocks the vessels causing the red blood cells to break down quicker than they should, so not enough Oxygen is getting around the body.
Can sickle cell anemia cause enlarged heart?
Yes, sickle cell anemia can lead to an enlarged heart, a condition known as cardiomegaly. This occurs due to chronic anemia and the increased workload on the heart to pump oxygen-rich blood throughout the body. Additionally, complications such as pulmonary hypertension, which is common in sickle cell patients, can further strain the heart, contributing to its enlargement. Regular monitoring and management of these complications are essential for maintaining heart health in individuals with sickle cell anemia.
Sickle cell anemia results from a defective?
Sickle cell disease is a group of disorders that affects molecule in red blood cells (hemoglobin) that delivers oxygen to cells throughout the body. Person with this disorder have typical hemoglobin molecules called hemoglobin S, which can distort red blood cells into a sickle, or crescent, shape.
What parts of the body does sickle cellanimia affect?
blood and tissue
Why do people with malaria or sickle cell anemia have enlarged spleens?
The spleen is the body's reservoir for blood and also plays a role in red blood cell development. When a person has either malaria or sickle cell anemia the body tries to make more blood available, so the extra amount is stored in the spleen.
What type of disorder is sickle cell disease?
It is when your body does not produce alot of blood and you become very skinny and sick. It can be passed on to babies by mothers and mostly occurs in African countries and some parts of Asia, too.

Sickle cell is the same but the few being produced are shaped diff and in a way deformed and your RBC carry oxygen throughout body so with sickle cell the RBC u do have aren't healthy and can't appropriately deliver oxygen in reag anemia they can appropriately deliv oxygen but there are very few
What are the affected body parts when you have leukemia?
Ur bones are effected
How does a person with sickle-cell allele differ from a person with two sickle-cell alleles?
If a person has a single sickle cell allele they will have some sickles red blood cells, and some normal red blood cells. This is the origami purpose that this evolved for. If a person had a single sickle cell allele, they will be mostly resistant to malaria. This is why sickle cell anemia is most prevalent in areas of the world where malaria is common. However, if a person has two sickle cell anemia alleles, they will have ONLY sickled red blood cells. The "sickling" of the red blood cells is caused by a mutation in the protien that the gene codes for. That protein is hemoglobin, which carries oxygen through the blood. If a person has sickle cell anemia, parts of their body wil not get enough oxygen. They can pass out, loose sensation in the limb, or even die from it. In short, a person with two alleles is sick, and a person with one allele is not.
