Sickle Cell Anemia Anatomy and Physiology 9/1/2014 Victoria Nimtz Definitions and History: Sickle Cell Anemia is a genetically passed disease. Instead of having normal disc – like red blood cells, a person would end up producing semicircular (sickle) shaped blood cells. This turns into a huge problem because the semicircular shaped blood cells block the blood flow within the blood vessels, which happen to carry inside them a protein known as hemoglobin, which ends up carrying oxygen from the lungs to the rest of your body. This is able to cause excruciating pain as well as ruining organs, because of this, a person will become more prone to getting infections. It is said that Sickle Cell Anemia has been present in Africa for…

Anatomy is very intriguing because it allows us to examine and study the body parts that are visible to the naked eye.

Physiology on the other hand, is the study of how body activities are carried…

My interest for Medicine first developed as a child when I had Grommets put in my ears and my adenoids removed. To me, these experiences were exciting; particularly to have magic cream put on my hands which unknown to me back then, made the cannula insertion painless. I study Biology, Chemistry and Psychology at A-level, and each subject will individually benefit me in my pursuit of medicine. They all aid in teaching me the scientific skill sets that one needs, along with important information…
