Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conjugation of bilirubin is the process of changing the bilirubin from a fat-soluble to a water-soluble product. Albumin binding attaches something to a protein molecule. Enterohepatic circuit is the route whereby part of the bile produced by the liver enters the intestine, is resorbed by the liver, and then is recycled into the intestine. Unconjugated bilirubin is fat-soluble.
