  2. 5. The passages in which the water soluble form of bilirubin is secreted to
  3. 6. a hormone that will break down glycogen, glycerol, amino acids and fatty acids in the liver, therefore releasing glucose to the blood stream

  6. 12. Two words.Broken down into amino acids, which are recycled
  7. 14. a hormone that stimulates liver cells to take up glucose and store it as glycogen
  8. 15. The small blood vessels in the liver from the hepatic artery

Down
  1. 1. Cytoplasmic Projection of the Kupffer Cell
  2. 2. Recycles old red blood cells
  3. 3. Protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen; Broken down in the kupffer cell into a globin chains and a heme group
