A
  • Erythropoiesis that requires erythropoietin, B6, B9, B12 , and iron
  • Passage through peripheral blood circulation < After 120 days < destruction < releasing heme and Globin

Q

What are the adaptations of the body to the hypoxia?

A
  • Redistribution of blood : heart and brain at the expense of mesenteric and cutaneous territories (pallor)
  • increase cardiac output: increase cardiac output
  • Tachypnea
  • Decreased affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen: optimal release of oxygen to tissues
