Detailed explanation-1: -As a reservoir for blood, the spleen weights about 100 g. The organ can respond to sympathetic stimulation by contracting its fibroelastic capsule and trabeculae to increase systemic blood supply. In particular, this vital function takes place during hemorrhage.
Detailed explanation-2: -Spleen is called as the blood bank of our body because it holds the reserve of blood in case of haemorragic shock. It is the largest lymphatic organ that acts as an emergency blood bank for our body and also help remove debris from the blood stream.
Detailed explanation-3: -It’s part of the lymphatic system (which is part of the immune system). The spleen stores and filters blood and makes white blood cells that protect you from infection. Many diseases and conditions can affect how the spleen works.
