Description
The word anaemia is a Latin word meaning "no blood." It describes a condition where there is lack of heam in the blood. Heam is the oxygen carrying and iron-containing molecule. This is attached to a protein called globin to form haemoglobin (Hb), which is contained in the red blood cells. This haemoglobin is responsible for the red colour of the blood.
