Types of Anemia -. Normocytic - refers to size of RBC - normal-sized red blood cells, but less number of them. Normochromic - refers to hemoglobin concentration (color) - concentration of hemoglobin in the red blood cells is within the standard range. But you have less numbers of red blood cells.
Normocytic, normochromic cells as they appear on a Wright-stained peripheral blood smear are shown in the image on the right. Normal functioning RBCs survive for approximately 120 days in the peripheral blood circulation before being removed by the liver or spleen. Under normal circumstances, the body produces enough RBCs each day to offset the removal of senescent (old) cells.
