Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Red blood cells develop in the bone marrow, which is the sponge-like tissue inside your bones. Your body normally destroys old or faulty red blood cells in the spleen or other parts of your body through a process called hemolysis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Damaged RBCs can release unbound forms of iron-carrying hemoglobin, which can cause kidney injury, and can lead to anemia, reducing the delivery of oxygen to tissues. If disease-associated RBC damage overwhelms the body’s ability to clear aged RBCs, toxic levels of free iron can be released.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your body makes normal red blood cells, but they are later destroyed. This may happen because of: Certain infections, which may be viral or bacterial. Medicines, such as penicillin, antimalarial medicines, sulfa medicines, or acetaminophen.

Detailed explanation-4: -B lymphocytes become cells that produce antibodies. Antibodies attach to a specific antigen and make it easier for the immune cells to destroy the antigen. T lymphocytes attack antigens directly and help control the immune response. 23-Jan-2022
