Haemoglobin of erythrocytes split off into heme and globin. The core of iron in heme is salvaged, bound to protein as hemosiderin and stored for reuse.
The remaining of the heme group is degraded to bilirubin a yellow pigment that is released into the blood. Bilirubin is picked up by liver cells which in turn secrete it into the intestine where it is metabolised to urobilinogen.
