    Anemia

    • Fatigue is a primary symptom of anemia
    • Iron deficiency is a characteristic of Iron-Deficiency Anemia

    Leukemia

    • Chronic Lymphoid Leukemia is characterized by an overproduction of lymphocytes
    • The primary issue in Myeloid Leukemia is an overproduction of immature white blood cells

    Sickle Cell Anemia

    • Sickle Cell Anemia is a genetic condition
    • Sickle Cell Anemia results in abnormally shaped red blood cells that can block blood flow

    Blood Components

    • Red blood cells are primarily responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body
    • White blood cells play a key role in the immune system, protecting the body from infections

    Blood Groups

    • Blood group O negative is considered the universal donor
    • Plasma, the liquid component of blood, is primarily composed of water
    • Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell primarily responsible for phagocytosis
    • Blood group AB is unique because it contains both A and B antigens
    • Antibodies in blood groups are responsible for identifying and binding to foreign antigens, triggering an immune response
    • White blood cells can detect enemies within the body through chemotaxis, which is the movement towards a chemical stimulus
