They are particularly concerned with the formation of bile and are often seen to contain fragments of red blood cells and pigment granules derived from the breakdown of hemoglobin.Star-shaped cells present in the blood sinuses of the liver. They form part of the reticulo-endothelial system and are to a large extent responsible for the breakdown of haemoglobin into the bile pigments."}
