Ligament between the spleen and the splenic flexure of the colon Within the peritoneal cavity Complete absence of the spleen Condition where there is more than one spleen Results from the failure of fusion of separate splenic masses forming on the dorsal mesogastrium; most commonly found in the splenic hilum or along the splenic vessels or associated ligaments Leaves the splenic hilum, travels transversely through the upper abdomen to join with the superior mesenteric vein to form the main portal vein; serves as the posterior medial border of the pancreas Located in the middle of the spleen; site where vessels and lymph nodes enter and exit the spleen Spleen that has migrated from its normal location in the left upper quadrant One of the ligaments between the stomach and spleen that helps to hold the spleen in place Alkaline fluid found in the lymphatic vessels Ligament between the spleen and kidney that helps support the greater curvature of the stomach Certain phagocytic cells (found in the liver and spleen) make up the reticuloendothelial system (RES); plays a role in the synthesis of blood proteins and hematopoiesis Left upper quadrant of the abdomen that contains the left lobe of the liver, spleen, and stomach Branch of the celiac axis; tortuous course toward the spleen; serves as the superior border of the pancreas Exercise 2 Match the following physiology terms with their definitions.   1. culling   2. erythrocyte   3. hematopoiesis   4. hemoglobin   5. hemosiderin   6. leukopenia   7. malpighian corpuscles   8. phagocytosis   9. pitting 10. red pulp 11. splenic sinuses A.

Follicles in the white pulp of the spleen, containing many lymphocytes Pigment released from hemoglobin process Blood cell production Defend the body by destroying invading microorganisms and their toxins Consists of reticular cells and fibers (cords of Billroth); surrounds the splenic sinuses Red blood cell Abnormal decrease of white blood corpuscles; may be drug induced Consists of lymphatic tissue and lymphatic follicles Process by which the spleen removes nuclei from blood cells without destroying the erythrocytes Process by which the spleen removes abnormal red blood cells as they pass through Oxygen-binding protein found in red blood cells Long irregular channels lined by endothelial cells or flattened reticular cells Process by which the red pulp destroys the degenerating red blood cells 12. white blood cells 13. white pulp 131 Copyright © 2012, 2007 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
