Sickle Cell anmenia is a disease that is past down from parents that both have abnormal genes. Sickle Cell anmenia occurs when red blood cells form an abnormal form of hemoglobin, (a hemoglobin is a protien found in red blood cell that help move oxygen throughout the body.) The abnormal hemoglobin tend to clumb together which makes the red blood cells sticky, stiff and more fragile. Once this happens the red blood cells turn into a more lumpy shape, normal red blood cells are dougnut shaped which helps them move more smoothly throughout the body. Since the red blood cell has turned into a lumpy form it finds it hard to make its way through our ateries. This clogs your vessels and deprive your organs of the oxygen it needs to keep healthy.
Healthy red blood cells normally lasts around four months, But with the diasease Sickle Cell anmenia, your red blood cells only normally live up to 20 days, which causes anmenia. Anmenia is what happens when our amount of red blood cells fall below normal. When this happens you tend to get tired and weak easily.
This Disease would affect a person very much, they would not only fell weak and tired all the time, but they would also get sick easier and catch infections and disease in their organs because so their lack of getting the oxygen delivered to them.
