Explain how the body catabolizes hemoglobin in both extravascular and intravascular hemolysis
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Extravascular: Hemoglobin dissociates into heme + globin; globin goes amino acid pool where it is reutilized; heme → biliverdin → bilirubin bilirubin + albumin → bilirubin diglucuronide → urobilinogen → stool and urine excretion.
