Premises:

Responses:

hemolytic anemia

stimulates RBC production in bone marrow

blocks the release of iron from storage and thereby renders iron unavailable for red blood cell production

failure of stem cells to develop into RBCs

genetic mutation that results in altered hemoglobin structure

genetic mutation that reduces hemoglobin synthesis

results from iron deficiency

immature RBC

production of RBCs

associated with shortened RBC life span

characterized by large immature red blood cells, as occurs in folate or vitamin B12 deficiency
