Question
What would be the consequences of a deficiency of haemoglobin in our bodies?
Solution
The average haemoglobin content of blood, irrespective of sex, is 14.5 g per 100 mL. If haemoglobin content reduces in the blood, its oxygen carrying capacity decreases. So, the person shows symptoms of deficient oxygen such as breathlesness, fatigue and other health problems. Severe deficiencies can even lead to the damage of organs and less efficient working of your body systems.
