What is a bile pigment formed by the breakdown of hemoglobin from expired erythrocytes?
Bilirubin
What is the excretory product other than urea formed by liver?
In addition to urea, the liver produces bilirubin as a result of the recycling of red blood cells. The bilirubin is excreted through bile.
What are the pigments released by the liver in bile called?
From the glossary of medical terms the answer is: BILIRUBIN
How is feces produced?
faece is due to bile acids called stercobilin and urobilin which are produced by bacterial degradation of bilirubin. Bilirubin is formed as a breakdown product of haemoglobin (from red blood cells) in the liver and is secreted into the bile, which is secreted into the intestines
What is the color of bilirubin?
The color of Bilirubin is orange Bilirubin is an orange color pigment in the bile
Where do bilirubin and biliverdin come from?
Bilirubin is formed by brake down of old red blood cells by Lymphatic system, mainly spleen. The degraded product is converted into non conjugated Bilirubin and can not beexcretedby kidneys as it is attached to plasma albumin. Liver cell take it from plasma albumin and conjugate the same to Glucuronic acid so that it can beexcretedby kidneys.
End product of hemoglobin breakdown is?
bilirubin
Pigment produced by the destruction of hemoglobin in the liver is called?
When the erythrocytes are destroyed, haemoglobin breaks down, the heme part of it goes through a series of transformation: Heme → biliverdin (green pigment) biliverdin → bilirubin (orange-yellow pigment) Bilirubin + blood albumin → bound bilirubin (in peripheral blood) Bound bilirubin + glucuronic acid → conjugated bilirubin. (in liver) Conjugated bilirubin + intestinal bacteria → several pigments, including - stercobolin (orange-brown pigment, excreted in feces) and - urobilinogen (reabsorbed into bile/blood, finally excreted in urine)
Is raised bilirubin a sign or a symptom?
Raised bilirubin is a symptom
Can indirect bilirubin be more than total bilirubin?
yes
Total and fractionated bilirubin?
Liver makes bilirubin water soluble for excretion into the urine....get total bilirubin from complete CFP...
What is the source of The waste product bilirubin?
Bilirubin comes from recycled hemoglobin
