ETYMOLOGY
Anemia is a medical condition which the number of red blood cells concentration
within them is lower than normal. The word ‘Anemia’ is derived from two Greek words
‘an’ means ‘without’ and ‘haima’ means ‘blood’. It was called ‘anaimia’ meaning without
blood till late 18th century. However, in the early 19th century via modern Latin it came
to be called as ‘anemia.’

manifested by lack of produced hemoglobin present in the bloodstream making it unable
to carry and deliver oxygen to body’s tissues.

responsible for the transport of oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and returns carbon
dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs.
