Q: What is the difference between the spleen of western medicine and that of traditional Chinese medicine? How can we find out where the spleen of western medicine exists in our human body?

Disease analysis: Hello, the spleen mentioned by western medicine has a specific shape, which is located in the deep part of the posterolateral rib arch in the left-season rib area, opposite to 9- 1 1 rib, and its long axis is consistent with1rib. The diaphragm is adjacent to the diaphragm and the left costal diaphragm sinus, the stomach is in front, the left kidney and adrenal gland are behind, the lower end is adjacent to the colon and splenic groove, and the splenic hilum is adjacent to the pancreatic tail.

Spleen is an organ in abdominal cavity, which is connected with adjacent organs through gastrosplenic ligament, spleen-kidney ligament, diaphragm-spleen ligament and spleen-colon ligament. The spleen is not easy to see because it is behind the human body.

The spleen in the spleen meridian is not the spleen with a specific shape as mentioned by western medicine. Spleen meridian is one of the the twelve meridians in the study of meridians in traditional Chinese medicine, which can't be seen by naked eye microscope. The spleen meridian has a route with acupoints on it. The reason why it is called spleen meridian should be related to its related viscera (spleen and stomach collaterals) and the route of circulation.
