- biliverdin macrophages urobilinogen bilirubin Erythrocytes are continually replaced. Worn-out erythrocytes are lysed in the spleen as they pass through splenic cords in the spleen. digest these cell parts, and separate heme from the globin units of hemoglobin. The globin proteins are broken down into amino acids and recycled. The heme pigment is converted into , then , and released into the blood. It is concentrated in urine, producing its yellow color. The liver removes additional bilirubin and secretes it into bile.
