There are three basic divisions within the morphologic classification system: Microcytic -- MCV <80 fL Macrocytic -- MCV >100 fL Normocytic -- MCV 80-100 fL

Microcytic anaemia is any of several types of anaemia characterized by small red blood cells (called microcytes). The normal mean corpuscular volume is 80-100 fL. There are five main causes of microcytic anemia forming the acronym TAILS. Thalassemia, Anemia of chronic disease, Iron deficiency, Lead poisoning and Congenital sideroblastic anemia.
