totals
An angle that is greater than a right angle?
it is called obtuse
What is the yellow discoloration of the skin caused by greater than normal amounts of bilirubin in the blood is called?
jaundice
What are the pigments released by the liver in bile called?
From the glossary of medical terms the answer 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)
What effect on the bilirubin molecule does ultraviolet light have?
Ultraviolet light helps convert unconjugated bilirubin into its water-soluble form, called photoisomerized bilirubin. This process, known as phototherapy, helps the liver excrete bilirubin more easily, reducing the risk of jaundice in newborns.
What Destruction of red blood cells results in the waste product called?
The destruction of red blood cells results in the waste product called bilirubin. Bilirubin is a yellow compound that is produced when hemoglobin from old red blood cells is broken down in the liver.
The pigment found in bile is called the?
The pigment found in bile is called bilirubin. It is produced during the breakdown of red blood cells in the liver and gives bile its yellow to dark green color.
Greater amounts of what pigment are produced when the skin is exposed to the sun?
Melanin is the pigment produced in greater amounts when the skin is exposed to the sun. Melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes in response to UV radiation as a defense mechanism to protect the skin from damage.
What is the medical term meaning substance of red blood cell bile?
It is called bilirubin.
What is skin discoloration called?
Skin discoloration is commonly referred to as hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation, depending on whether the affected area is darker or lighter than the surrounding skin. Other terms might include melasma, sun spots, or age spots.
How does gallstones produces jaundice?
gallstones block the bile duct, and prevent bilirubin getting to the small intestines. it is very important for bilirubin to get to the small intestine's, so if too much bilirubin build up, it will eventually move in to the blood stream. causing your skin to turn yellow, (especially your eyes) and this is called jaundice.
High levels of billirubin in the blood stream can result in?
jaundice the normal serum bilirubin level is 0.5 to 1.5mg%. jaundice occurs when the bilirubin level exceeds 2mg%. the increased blood level of bilirubin is called hyperbilirubinemia. excess bilirubin from blood diffuses into the tissues, skin and mucous membrane, colouring them yellow. this condition caused by overflow of bilirubin is called jaundice.
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
