Spleen, light micrograph C014 / 0858
Spleen. Light micrograph of a section through the red pulp of a spleen. Situated on the left side of the upper abdomen, behind the stomach, the spleen is a large lymphoid organ

The splenic artery is a crucial component of the abdominal arteries, as seen in X-ray P206 / 0309. This artery plays a vital role in supplying blood to the spleen, an organ that often goes unnoticed but holds great importance. In Thorotrastosis C015 / 7127, we witness the impact of thorotrast on the spleen. This condition causes abnormal deposits within the organ and can be detected through imaging techniques like X-rays. Similarly, Spleen tuberculosis C015 / 6399 showcases how this infectious disease affects the spleen's structure and function. Gaucher's disease is another condition that affects the spleen, as depicted in a light micrograph. This genetic disorder leads to an accumulation of fatty substances within cells throughout various organs including the spleen. X-rays of arteries further emphasize how interconnected these vessels are with our overall health. They reveal any abnormalities or blockages that might occur within them. To better understand its anatomy, a computer graphic presents us with a visual representation of a human spleen alongside its corresponding artery. This illustration helps us grasp its location and relationship with other structures in our body.
