Question

The framework of the spleen is created by a network of reticular fibers made by reticular cells. The framework of the spleen is created by a network of reticular fibers made by reticular cells. True or False?

Answer 1

Answer: True.

Spleen framework is created by reticular fibres from reticular cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

Spleen is an organ found mostly in vertebrates. It develop from mesenchymal cells within the dorsal of mesogastrium near the greater curvature stomach. The mesencymal cells then divide and differentied to form framework of connective tissues of spleen. The framework of spleen is created by reticular fibres of the reticular cells. Reticular fibres are fibres in the connective tissue that is composed of type iii collagen secreted by reticular cells. Spleen function in filtering of blood. It plays a major role in red blood cells and immune system.

Answer 2

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

The spleen is a lymphoid organ with several hematological and immunological functions. It is located in the upper left quadrant of the abdominal cavity. Externally, the spleen is surrounded by a layer of tissue called a capsule, formed by dense fibrous connective tissue, which emits trabeculae inwards. The framework of the connective tissue located between the trabeculae is formed by a network of reticular fibers (which normally gives support) and it’s made by reticular cells (which are found in the tissue and lymphoid organs), being lymphocytes (cells smallest free connective tissue) one of the most predominant elements.
