Matching

Match each nutrition term with the appropriate definition.

Premises:

Responses:

erythropoietin

production of RBCs

results from iron deficiency

immature RBC

associated with shortened RBC life span

genetic mutation that results in altered hemoglobin structure

failure of stem cells to develop into RBCs

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

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

stimulates RBC production in bone marrow

genetic mutation that reduces hemoglobin synthesis
