Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The sinusoids are also lined with phagocytic Kupffer cells and are part of the mononuclear phag-ocyte system. The Glisson is the capsule that covers the liver. The Meissner is a part of the nerve plexus that innervates the liver. The Lieberkhn is a part of the liver's secretory cells.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Within hepatocytes, unconjugated bilirubin joins with glucuronic acid to form conjugated biliru-bin, not unconjugated, which is water soluble and is secreted in the bile.
Biliverdin is a precursor of bilirubin. When conjugated bilirubin reaches the distal ileum and co-lon, it is deconjugated by bacteria and converted to urobilinogen.
