Question:

How is spleen red pulp?

Author: H K



Answer:

• Constituting 75% of the spleen, the red pulp is responsible for the hematological function of the spleen. • The red pulp contains :  Splenic sinusoids: blood-filled spaces located throughout the red pulp. The endothelial lining of the sinusoid is discontinuous, providing a passage for blood cells between the sinusoids and cords.  Splenic cords (Billroth’s cords): consist of all cells between the sinusoids in the red pulp (reticular cells, macrophages, plasma cells, lymphocytes, RBCs, platelets, other leukocytes)
