blood has abnormally low oxygen carrying capacity
iron deficiency

sickle cell anemia
what can sickle cell anemia lead to
acute or chronic complications and potentially death
what is the blood flow through the heart
deoxygenated blood from vena cava-right atrium-tricuspid valve-right ventricle-pulmonary semilunar valve-pulmonary trunk-pulmonary arteries-lungs(gas exchange)-oxygenated blood returns from pulmonary veins-left atrium-bicuspid valve-left ventricle-aortic semilunar valve-aorta-body
this increases in the number or proportion of WBCs in the blood in response to infection
leukocytosis
increase in eosinophill count due to allergic reaction or parasitosis
eosinophillia
