Old erythrocytes are broken down and degraded in the liver. The globins are hydrolyzed into amino acids, while the heme pigment is first converted to biliverdin. Macrophages then convert this to bilirubin and travel through the blood bound to albumin proteins. The liver takes this out of the blood and puts it into bile. When the bile is released into the intestine, bacteria convert this substance to urobilinogen which gives the brown color of feces.
