Sequence of Explanation
Hemoglobin is reorganized into hemin, iron, and globin.
First of all, hemoglobin is reorganized into hemin, iron, and globin. Iron
and globin are stored in the liver, then sent to the red bone marrow to form new
antibodies or hemoglobin. while the hemin is reorganized into bilirubin and
biliverdin. Both substances then become bile dyes that are blue green.
Kupffer cells in the liver damage red blood cells that are not needed to
hepatocytes.
Blood that enters the liver through the hepatic vein portal is glucose-rich
blood from processed foods. Hepatocytes absorb a lot of glucose and store it
into glycogen macromolecules and polysaccharides that make hepatocytes can
put glucose in large quantities and quickly remove glucose between meals.
