Anemia is characterized by a reduced oxygen-carrying capacity due to a decrease in red blood cells or hemoglobin. There are over 400 types of anemia, with the most common being iron deficiency, megaloblastic, pernicious, hemorrhagic, hemolytic, thalassemia, and aplastic anemia, each with distinct causes and characteristics. Risk factors often include dietary deficiencies, excessive blood loss, and conditions affecting blood production.

1. ANEMIA ----a symptom ☻ Oxygen carrying capacity. ☻ Number of RBC. ☻ Amount of hemoglobin.

2. ☻ Cannot tolerate to cold and heat. ☻ This may be due to lack of vitamins. Affected with Anemia

3. TYPES OF ANEMIA 400 TYPES OF ANEMIA 1.Iron deficiency anemia. 2.Megaloblastic anemia. 3.Pernicious anemia. 4.Hemorrhagic anemia. 5.hemolytic anemia. 6.thalassemmia anemia. 7.aplastic anemia.

4. 1.Iron deficiency anemia ♣ excessive loss of iron . ♣ Women are at risk. ---- For menstrual blood and growing fetus.

5. 2.Megaloblastic anemia ♣ Less intake of vitamin B 12. ♣ Red bone marrow produces abnormal RBC. ♣ CANCER DRUGS. ♣ Eggs ,Beef,fish etc. veg. face a lot of problem.

6. 3.Pernicious anemia ♣ Inability of stomach to absorb vitamin B 12 in small intestine.

7. 4.Hemorrhagic anemia ♣ Excessive loss of RBC through ---bleeding ---stomach ulcers ---menstruation

8. 5.Hemolytic anemia ♣ RBC plasma membrane ruptures. ♣ may be due to parasites,toxins,antibodies.

9. 6.Thalassemmia anemia ♣ Less synthesis of hemoglobin. ♣ in population of Mediterranean sea.

10. 7.Aplastic anemia ♣ destruction of red bone marrow . ♣ caused by toxins,gamma radiation. ♣ enzymes needed for blood production.
