Blood Health - Coggle Diagram

- - - - acidic foods
        
        increased need
    - - fibres
      - phytic acid
      - oxalic acid
      - binders
      - when in excess
    - - Fe found in food enters the body
      - if body needs Iron -> gets stored in transferrin
        
        If it does not need, stored in ferritin
        
        after 2 days still no need -> discarded with intestinal cell
      - transferrin is sent to the liver and spleenand Fe is packaged into hemoglobin or myoglobin
        
        can be lost through sweat or urine
        
        myoglobin is found in the muscles
      - hemoglobin in RBC travels through blood and donates oxygen to tissues
        
        can be lost through bleeding
      - hemoglobin gets recycled to the liver once RBC is recycled
      - if body needs iron, will be packaged into transferrin
        
        if not, will be packaged into ferritin
  - - - 40% heme
      - mixed = 20% heme and 80% non-heme
  - - - 100% non-heme
  - - - same Hb levels
      - no symptoms
    - - same - low Hb levels
      - feeling of fatigue
      - low Fe
    - - very low Hb levels
      - no O2 transfer
      - fatigue, lethargy
      - very low Fe
  - - - lack of nutrient absorption
      - malnutrition
  - - - menstruation = more loss
- - - - if not, is stored in melathionin
        
        secreted after 2-3 days in the pancreas?
    - - needs vitamin K in order to be activated
      - can be lost through bleeding, sweating, vomiting
      - excess zinc is packed into melathionin
    - - if not
  - - - male hormone action - testosterone
