Sickle cell anemia is an inherited form of anemia - a condition in which there aren't enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen throughout your body.
Normally, your red blood cells are flexible and round, moving easily through your blood vessels. In sickle cell anemia, the red blood cells become rigid and sticky and are shaped like
sickles or crescent moons. These irregularly shaped cells can get stuck in small blood vessels. How does sickle cell anemia affect the blood flow in a human?

Answer:

RBCs are round red blood cells that easily move through blood vessels and carry oxygen with them to provide cells oxygen. In sickle cell anemia, the shape of the red blood cells is like sickles or crescent moons.

These cells occur due to mutation on the gene that produces this protein which results in rigid, sticky cells that can get stuck in small blood vessels and blocks the flow of blood, oxygen to parts of the body.
