Description
Enlarged Spleen is a disease of the Spleen.
Spleen is present under the rib cage in the upper left part of the Abdomen.
Its normal size is about that of a fist. But as a result of diseases the Spleen gets enlarged.
The Spleen is part of the immune system. It filters the blood and acts as a reservoir.
It produces lymphocytes, a type of white blood cells.
It produces antibodies to fight foreign invaders.
White pulp destroys bacteria, virus and germs.
Red pulp filters blood.
In times of emergencies like hemorrhage it provides blood.
While filtering the blood it throws out old blood cells but retails the iron in them. Iron is stored in the spleen as bilirubin and ferritin is transferred to the bone marrow. That’s where you make hemoglobin.
