The Role of Red Blood Cells in Anemia

Watch this video to learn about how the body makes red blood cells, which contain hemoglobin and carry oxygen throughout the body. Anemia occurs when there are too few red blood cells or not enough hemoglobin. Find out more about anemia and other blood disorders by visiting ASH's patient resources webpage http://hematology.org/Patients/.

This animation was featured in the documentary film "Blood Detectives." To learn more about the film, visit http://www.hematology.org/Publications/Blood-Detectives/5246.aspx

dont be silly you are taking way too much iron consumption. Anemia is reverseable condition i have had it when i was 16 i m 25 now and i made it. You should try natural organic eating habit because it has zero side effects.I say this because causes of heart attach caused by anemia is due to one stupid side effect so when u avoid medical crap and eat natural vegetables and fruits with high volume of iron u reduce death by 75%. Believe me! Go look for fruits and dry nuts with high volume of iron.
