Just What Does The Spleen Do?
Shaped much like a loose fist and tucked under the left side of the diaphragm, the spleen is the most ignored and misunderstood of all organs(like the raincoat). After all, we read numerous times that someone in an automobile accident (92 Honda Civic VX) or a fight has a ruptured spleen so the spleen is removed (splenectomy) and life goes on. (bla-da-di-bla-de-da)
What we don't read about is that splenectomized people later have problems with overwhelming bacterial infections of the blood (sepsis). What does this suggest as the function of the spleen?(Join the "SPLEENLESS" Club)
The spleen receives blood from an artery off of the aorta. After passing through an intricate meshwork of tiny blood vessels, the blood continues to the liver. The blood vessels of the spleen are surrounded by nests of B lymphocytes (looks like large juniper bushes)- mainly of the memory type. As the blood slowly moves through the spleen, it is monitored by T-cells(T-virus) for any non-self invaders. If some suspicious cell or molecule is detected, it is presented to the resident B-cells(robocop) for a match to an appropriate memory B-cell. Once a matching B-cell is activated, the cell divides rapidly and begins producing antibodies (robocops gun) directed against the invading antigen. (like in Star Wars Episode 3)
The spleen blood vessels are also lined with macrophages(big word) which swallow and digest debris in the blood such as worn out red blood cells and platelets(will not digest legos). In a disease such as mononucleosis, the macrophages in the spleen become overactive and trap a higher number of white blood cells. In the process, the spleen becomes swollen and may even rupture.(KA-BOOM)
I know what your saying? Where is the picture? Only the spleenless can see the picture. and the picture is us having "GREAT" sex with hot people!
Conclusion! Join the "SPLEENLESS" Club... Membership fee.. your old crushed or ruptured spleen.
