scilearner Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hello everyone, Ok so red blood cells break and release haemoglobin. Now I checked a book and it all it showed is that this haemoglobin binds to haptoglobin and goes to liver. Now billirubin is made by reticulocytes in spleen using haem. So does liver break this haemoglobin haptoglobin complex, and release haem into the circulation, so reticulocytes in spleen can act on it or does this haemoglobin travel to spleen?
