The summer wind, came blowin in-from across the sea. It lingered there, so warm and fair-to walk with me. All summer long, we sang a song-and strolled on golden sand. Two sweethearts, and the summer wind. Like painted kites, those days and nights-went flyin by.
iron metabolism, a series of processes involved in the entry of iron into the body and its absorption, transport, storage, use in the formation of hemoglobin and other iron compounds, and eventual excretion.nce in the blood, iron cycles between the plasma and the reticuloendothelial or erythropoietic system. For hemoglobin synthesis, plasma iron is delivered to the normoblast, where it remains up to 4 months, trapped in the hemoglobin molecules of a mature red cell. Senescent red cells then deteriorate and break down.
Iron is absorbed by the body, metabolized by the liver and converted to ferritin or hemosiderin. The liver then transports the necessary amount of iron to different parts of the body such as the heart and bone marrow.Unused iron is stored in the liver for emergency or future use.In a condition called hemochromatosis, the iron is excessively absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.This iron is then carried to the different organs of the body, specifically the liver, myocardium, testes, thyroid and pancreas.he frequency of symptomatic hemochromatosis in the United States is in about 50 to 80 people out of 10,000. It is more common in Caucasians and less common in African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, and American-Indians.
