Sickle Cell Anemia Sickle Cell Disease
2,028 wordsThere have been many researches and tests done on the genetic causes of Sickle Cell Anemia and how it develope's, as well as its effects on the circulatory, muscular, and respiratory systems, as well as its effects on the joints and other systems of the body, and the complications associated with them. Most of the research has been done to explore on the reasons why it mostly effects the African-American community and people who are from the West Coast of Africa. It has also been known that Sick...

Tay Sachs Disease Sickle Cell Disease
663 wordsEach year a number of children are born with biological defects that impair normal function. For THREE of the following conditions, discuss such aspects as the biological cause, the methods of treatment and possible means of detection and / or prevention. One lethal disorder inherited as a recessive allele is Tay-Sachs disease. This is caused by a dysfunctional enzyme that fails to break down brain lipids of a certain class. The symptoms usually become manifest a few months after birth. Some sym...

Sickle Cell Disease Sickle Cell Anemia
1,272 wordsSickle Cell anemia is a group of inherited red blood cell disorders, or a collection of recessive genetic disorders characterized by a hemoglobin variant called Hb S. Normal red blood cells are round like doughnuts, and they move through small blood tubes in the body to deliver oxygen. Sickle red blood cells become hard, sticky and shaped like sickles used to cut wheat. When these hard and pointed red cells go through the small blood tube, they clog the flow and break apart. This can cause pain,...

Sickle Cell Disease Red Blood Cells
1,334 wordsdisorder that affects red blood cells. People with sickle cell have red blood cells that have mostly hemoglobin's, Sometimes these red blood cells become sickle-shaped or crescent shaped and have trouble going through small blood vessels. When sickle-shaped cells block small blood vessels, less blood can get to that part of the body. Tissue that does not get a normal blood flow eventually becomes damaged. This is what causes the problems of sickle cell disease. As to this day there is really no ...

The Sickle Cell Disease
812 wordsThe sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder that affects red blood cells. It causes waves of pain, damage to vital organs, and some die in childhood or early adulthood. The disease is most commonly found in blacks and Hispanics of Caribbean descent. Around one out of every 400 blacks inherits the sickle cell disease. Sickle cell occurs when two sickle cell genes or a combination of one sickle cell gene plus any one of several other hemoglobin genes. The sickle cell trait is not the sa...

Sickle Cell Anemia Red Blood Cells
577 wordsSickle Cell Anemia Anemia (Greek for bloodlessness), a blood condition involving an abnormal reduction in the number of red blood cells (erythrocytes) or in their hemoglobin content. These cells are the means by which oxygen is carried to the various parts of the body. People who are anemic get symptoms caused by not enough delivery of oxygen to their body tissues. There are three primary causes of anemia: (1) Reduced production of red blood cells, which may result from lacking nutrients or horm...

Sickle Cell Anemia Sickle Cell Disease
879 wordsThe problem is that sickle cell anemia affects about 72, 000 Americans in the United States. Sickle cell anemia is an inherited disease in which the body is unable to produce normal hemoglobin, an iron-containing protein. Abnormal hemoglobin can morph cells that can become lodged in narrow blood vessels, blocking oxygen from reaching organs and tissues. The effects of sickle cell anemia are bouts of extreme pain, infectious, fever, jaundice, stroke, slow growth, organ, and failure. Sickle cell a...
