What forms portal triad?
Portal vein
Bile duct
Hepatic artery
Where does haemopoeisis begin?
Haemopoietic bone marrow
How long do RBC last for?
120 days
Where are old RBC broken down?
What occurs to globin?
What occurs to haem?
BM, liver, spleen
Globin- metabolised into aa- reused protein synthesis
Haem- broken into biliverdin transport in blood
- iron bind transferrin for transport
What does iron bind to for transport?
Transferring
What is precursor to erythrocyte?
Reticulocyte
State regions body sections?
What are two forms of bilirubin?
Which is insoluble water?
Unconjugated/conjugated
Unconjugated insoluble water
Explain bilirubin metabolism?
1) Reticuloendothelial cells- macrophages responsible maintenance of blood
2) Metabolise haemoglobin
3) Haemoglobin broken into- haem and globin
4) Globin broken down into amino acids (reused)
5) Haem broken iron and biliverdin
(catalysed haem oxygenase)
Iron- recycled
6) Biliverdin to bilirubin
(catalysed by biliverdin reductase)
Biliverdin reduced form unconjugated bilirubin (toxic)
8) Bloodstream unconjugated bilirubin binds albumin facilitate transport liver
9) Unconjugated bilirubin + Glucuronic acid form conjugated bilirubin (soluble)
(catalysed by glucuronyl transferase)
10) As conjugated blirubin water soluble allows excretion into duodemun in bile
9) In ileum bilirubin deconjugated by intestinal bacteria and converted urobilinogen (remove glucorinic)
10) 80% urobilinogen oxidised and bacteria converted stercobilin- faeces
11) 20% urobilinogen reabsorbed bloodstream- bound albumin- liver- recycled bile production
Small amount kidney- oxidised urobilin- excreted urine
