Spleen is located in the left upper abdomen and deep behind the rib arch. It is a dark red and soft reticular endothelial cell organ.
The spleen of an adult is about the size of a palm and weighs about 200 grams. It was hung on the upper abdomen by several straps. Spleen has three functions. First, it is the "blood bank" of the human body. When the human body is resting and quiet, JC stores blood; When the human body is in a stress state such as exercise, blood loss and hypoxia, the blood is discharged into the blood circulation to increase the blood volume; Second, the spleen is one of the hematopoietic organs.
Spleen is the main hematopoietic organ, which only proliferates lymphocytes after birth, but can restore extramedullary hematopoiesis under pathological conditions, and spleen can regulate bone marrow hematopoiesis through body fluids. Third, the spleen is like a "filter". When germs, antigens, foreign bodies and protozoa appear in the blood, giant cells and lymphocytes in the spleen will eat them. Fourthly, the spleen is the main immune organ. Spleen is the largest lymphoid organ in human body, accounting for about 25% of lymphoid tissue, and contains a large number of T and B lymphocytes, which participate in the establishment of specific cellular immunity and humoral immunity.
Spleen contains many immune memory cells with strong immune memory function, which is of great significance to resist secondary infection. Fifth, spleen can make monocytes and lymphocytes.
Especially in the onset of some acute infectious diseases, the spleen is swollen and has phagocytosis, which can destroy bacteria, produce antibodies and enhance the body's resistance.

3. What is the function of spleen?
Analysis of illness: The physiological functions of the spleen mainly include: governing transport and transformation, ascending clearing, and governing blood.
(1) The main means of transportation are unimpeded. The spleen is responsible for the digestion, absorption and transportation of food.
Including transportation in Shui Gu and transportation of water and humidity. Food is digested and absorbed by the spleen, and then converted into Shui Gu essence. Spleen transports Shui Gu's essence to the lungs and spreads it to the whole body to nourish internal organs and tissues.
If the spleen loses its health, the digestion, absorption and transfer of nutrients are abnormal, causing anorexia, anorexia, bloating, emaciation and other symptoms. Introduction: Spleen is an organ with multiple functions, which has four main functions.
① Hematopoiety. Spleen is an important hematopoietic organ in embryonic stage, which becomes a lymphoid organ after embryo.
However, there are still a few hematopoietic stem cells in adult spleen, which can restore hematopoietic function and produce red blood cells, granulocytes and platelets under severe ischemia or some pathological conditions in animals. ② Blood storage.
Spleen is an important storage place for blood, especially blood cells, which are concentrated in splenic cord and splenic sinus. In some emergencies (such as acute massive blood loss), the spleen will contract and release blood cells into the circulating blood.
③ Filter blood. Spleen is also an effective filtering organ for blood.
Bacteria, foreign bodies, antigen-antibody complexes and aging blood cells in blood are swallowed and digested by a large number of macrophages when they flow through the spleen. 4 immunity.
Spleen has an important function of producing immune response, and antigens in blood can cause strong cellular and humoral immune responses in spleen. Marginal region is an important part of immune response initiation.
Cellular immune response leads to the obvious enlargement of lymphatic sheath of peripheral artery and the increase of immunocompetent cell output. Spleen is the largest immune organ in the body, accounting for 25% of the total lymphoid tissue, and contains a large number of lymphocytes and macrophages. It is the center of cellular immunity and humoral immunity, and plays an anti-tumor role through various mechanisms.
Splenectomy leads to the disorder of cellular immunity and humoral immunity, which affects the occurrence and development of tumors. Life care: after splenectomy, we should strengthen the conditioning from the diet, improve physical fitness and enhance immunity.
1, meet the supply of protein, often eat lean meat, eggs, chicken and fish, dairy products, and eat some soy products every day. 2. Iron is particularly indispensable, and more iron-containing foods must be supplied than usual to meet the needs of hematopoiesis and prevent anemia, such as animal liver, blood, lean meat, eggs and marginal vegetables.
3, provide a variety of vitamins, eat more vegetables, fruits, eggs, milk and animal offal, and keep 300-500 grams of green vegetables and 100- 150 grams of fruit every day, especially in winter and spring.

Marginal region is an important part of immune response initiation. Cellular immune response leads to the obvious enlargement of lymphatic sheath of peripheral artery and the increase of immunocompetent cell output. Humoral immune response caused the increase of plasma cells in white pulp and splenic cord lymph nodules, and the antibody concentration in spleen output blood increased. Compared with lymph nodes, the proportion of B lymphocytes in spleen is larger, and there are many antibody-dependent cytotoxic lymphocytes, which can directly kill target cells in the presence of specific antibodies. Spleen can also produce active substances that regulate immune response. In short, the immune function of the spleen plays an important role in the lymphatic organs of the body (see lymphocytes). Spleen shapes of different animals vary greatly, such as chicken's spleen is tetrahedral, rabbit's spleen is long and human's spleen is oblate. The internal structure of the spleen, such as the number of smooth muscle and trabecular meshwork in capsule, the ratio of white pulp to red pulp, the number of lymph nodules in white pulp, the development of splenic sinus, the number of capillaries in red pulp, etc. It also shows great differences between different animals. For example, cats and cattle have more smooth muscles in the spleen capsule and trabecular meshwork, but few in humans and rabbits. Cats' spleen often contains a large number of lymph nodes, but it is rare in rats and rabbits. Dogs, rabbits and per capita spleen sinuses are more developed, while cats and rats are less developed. Sheath capillaries are most obvious in pigs, but not in rats and rabbits. In humans, about 5%~ 10% of normal people have accessory spleen, which is generally smaller than the spleen, mostly located near the portal of the spleen, and sometimes connected with the spleen through chordae or trabeculae. The accessory spleen of a few people is far away from the spleen, located under the pancreas and liver, and close to the ovary or scrotum, also called the external spleen. Some people also have double spleen.
5. What do you know about spleen?
Spleen belongs to the viscera, located in the middle jiao, under the diaphragm, inside and outside the stomach.
The main function of the spleen is to take the initiative, clear the blood and control the blood. Spleen governs transportation, that is, spleen has the function of transporting water, grain and water.
Transporting Shui Gu means that the spleen can turn Shui Gu (food and drink) into fine substances and transport them to the whole body; Transporting water liquid means that the spleen can transport the excess water absorbed by Shui Gu essence to the lungs and kidneys in time, and through the gasification of the lungs and kidneys, it is transformed into sweat and urine. Spleen governing ascending Qing refers to the fact that the spleen absorbs Shui Gu's subtle nutrition, inputs it into the heart, lungs and head, transforms qi and blood and nourishes the whole body through the action of heart and lungs, so it is said that "spleen can preserve health"
Spleen governs blood, that is, spleen has the function of controlling blood circulation in meridians and preventing blood from escaping outside the veins. The transport function of spleen is not only the main function of spleen, but also very important to the life activities of the whole human body, so it is called "acquired-based" and "source of qi and blood biochemistry".
Spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow, which is of great significance in disease prevention and health preservation. Ancient physicians believed that "all diseases are due to spleen and stomach failure". Therefore, attention should be paid to protecting the spleen and stomach in daily life, paying attention to diet and nutrition, and taking care of the spleen and stomach when treating diseases.
6. Function of spleen
Spleen is one of the five internal organs of TCM.
Both the spleen and stomach are influenced by Shui Gu, which is the source of life power, so it is called the acquired foundation and the source of qi and blood biochemistry. Spleen in TCM includes not only the main functions of digestive system in modern medicine, but also the functions of nervous system, metabolism, immunity and endocrine system.
The physiological functions of the spleen mainly include: governing transport and transformation, ascending Qing, and governing blood. (1) The main means of transportation are unimpeded.
The spleen is responsible for the digestion, absorption and transportation of food. Including transportation in Shui Gu and transportation of water and humidity.
After being digested and absorbed by the spleen, food is transformed into Shui Gu essence, and the spleen transports Shui Gu essence to the lungs, spreads all over the body, and nourishes the internal organs and viscera. If the spleen loses its health, the digestion, absorption and transfer of nutrients are abnormal, causing anorexia, anorexia, bloating, emaciation and other symptoms.
Spleen transport and transformation of Shui Gu is mainly based on ascending Qing, that is, the so-called "spleen governing ascending Qing" can also make the internal organs of the human body remain relatively constant in a certain position without sagging.
If the temper does not rise, it will not only affect Shui Gu's subtle influence, but also make qi and blood biochemical passive, dizziness, fatigue, diarrhea and so on. In severe cases, it can also cause proctoptosis and visceral prolapse. The absorption and distribution of water and liquid is also an aspect of spleen's main transport and transformation.
The excess water in Shui Gu's subtle body is transferred from the spleen to the lungs and kidneys, and after being gasified by the lungs and kidneys, it is converted into sweat and urine. The function of spleen transporting and transforming water is weakened, which will lead to water stagnation in the body and produce phlegm and edema.
The spleen is the main organ for food digestion, and the mouth is the gateway for food to enter, so there is a saying that "the spleen opens the mouth". Clinically, asplenia often has abnormal taste, such as spleen deficiency, pale mouth, spleen deficiency with dampness and sweet mouth.
② control blood. Spleen has the function of controlling blood to run in veins without overflowing outside veins.
The blood regulating function of spleen is realized by sucking blood with qi. If the spleen loses health and qi deficiency cannot suck blood, subcutaneous hemorrhage, hematochezia, hematuria, metrorrhagia and so on will occur.
The largest lymphoid organ in animals. Located at the rear of the left upper abdomen, between the stomach and diaphragm, it is oblate oval or cord-shaped and concave.
Spleen is a solid organ with a membrane on its surface and a depression on one side of the spleen, that is, the splenic hilum. Blood vessels and nerves enter and leave the spleen.
The capsule connective tissue extends into the spleen from all directions, forming many rope-like trabeculae. The trabeculae are interconnected to form a scaffold, which is a substantial part of the spleen.
The spleen of mammals is mostly purplish red in nature, which is called red pulp. There are some gray-white punctate structures scattered in the red pulp, which is called white pulp.
The white pulp is mainly composed of lymphoid tissue, and the red pulp is composed of a network of cord lymphoid tissue-splenic cord and blood sinus-splenic sinus. Red pulp is distributed in the vast area around white pulp from subcapsular to trabecular.
The border area with the white pulp is called the marginal area, which is the main place for antigen substances in blood to enter the spleen and start the immune response, and also the channel for immune sensitized cells to enter the white pulp and red pulp of the spleen. Therefore, the marginal zone is very important in spleen immune function.
Spleen is an organ with multiple functions, which has four main functions. ① Hematopoiety.
Spleen is an important hematopoietic organ in embryonic stage, which becomes a lymphoid organ after embryo. However, there are still a few hematopoietic stem cells in adult spleen, which can restore hematopoietic function and produce red blood cells, granulocytes and platelets under severe ischemia or some pathological conditions in animals.
② Blood storage. Spleen is an important storage place for blood, especially blood cells, which are concentrated in splenic cord and splenic sinus.
In some emergencies (such as acute massive blood loss), the spleen will contract and release blood cells into the circulating blood. ③ Filter blood.

4 immunity. Spleen has an important function of producing immune response, and antigens in blood can cause strong cellular and humoral immune responses in spleen.
Marginal region is an important part of immune response initiation. Cellular immune response leads to the obvious enlargement of lymphatic sheath of peripheral artery and the increase of immunocompetent cell output.
Humoral immune response caused the increase of plasma cells in white pulp and splenic cord lymph nodules, and the antibody concentration in spleen output blood increased. Compared with lymph nodes, the proportion of B lymphocytes in spleen is larger, and there are many antibody-dependent cytotoxic lymphocytes, which can directly kill target cells in the presence of specific antibodies.

Spleen is the largest immune organ in the body, accounting for 25% of the total lymphoid tissue. It contains a large number of lymphocytes and macrophages, and is the center of cellular immunity and humoral immunity. Play an anti-tumor role through various mechanisms. Splenectomy leads to disorder of cellular immunity and humoral immunity. Tuftsin is a tetrapeptide first discovered by Professor Najjara of Tufts University in the United States on 1970. At present, spleen is known as the only source of coagulation factors in the body. Tuftsin, as a humoral factor involved in immune regulation, has significant anti-tumor effect. By activating polymorphonuclear leukocytes, monocytes and macrophages, their phagocytosis, dissociation and cytotoxicity functions are improved, and the cellular immune function of the body is enhanced. In addition, the spleen also produces many other immune factors, which promote phagocytosis and remove antigens in vivo and in vitro. This is the cause of dangerous infection syndrome (OPSI) after splenectomy, and it is also the theoretical basis of spleen-preserving surgery.
7. The function of human spleen and how to protect it?
This is an excerpt from Xiao Yansheng's Manual for the Use of Human Meridian, which may be useful.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine. Spleen in TCM has the function of transport, which means that the spleen can absorb the essence of food, transform it into qi, blood and body fluid, and transport it to organs and tissues of the whole body through the heart and lungs to meet the needs of human life activities.
Therefore, people with strong appetite, comfortable stomach after meals and normal stools are mostly ruddy and muscular, indicating that they have a "big temper" and normal transport function; However, those with loss of appetite, frequent abdominal distension and loose stool are mostly sallow and emaciated and weak, belonging to "weak temper" and abnormal transport. However, some people eat a lot, but they are sallow and emaciated. It is also due to the abnormal transport function of the spleen that Shui Gu cannot be transformed into qi and blood.
Spleen also has the function of controlling and inhibiting blood from running in the pulse without escaping, which is called "spleen governing blood". The five senses related to the spleen meridian include the tongue and pharynx, and are also related to the function of the spleen.
"Spleen opens to the mouth, mouth to the lips, saliva to the liquid", and diet enters from the mouth. If the function of the spleen is normal, the taste and appetite can also be normal, which is called "mouth neutralization" in Chinese medicine. Some people overeat, especially when they eat too much greasy food at night, and often drool when they sleep. This is because overeating exceeds the transport capacity of the spleen, and Shui Gu can't turn into qi and blood, but instead gathers into damp-heat evil.
So eating too much at night, especially rolling high-calorie food, is not good for your health. In terms of health care, we should first develop good eating habits, not overeating, especially eating less greasy food, so as to ensure that the spleen meridian is not overloaded and will also give you a healthy body.
Secondly, thinking leads to qi stagnation and thinking hurts the spleen. Excessive thinking will bring trouble to the spleen, making it dysfunctional and reducing the secretion of digestive juice. At this time, people's body will have loss of appetite, haggard description, shortness of breath, mental fatigue, depression and other phenomena.
At this time, besides paying attention to regulating emotions, we should also spend a few minutes at the key points of the spleen meridian, such as Taibai, Sanyinjiao, Yinlingquan and Xue Hai. Spleen meridian is flourishing at the fourth hour, that is, at 9~ 1 1 in the morning, the human body is full of yang, and dredging spleen meridian can play a good role in balancing yin and yang.
