I had my spleen removed 40 years ago and have since had two operations where it was noted that I had two small spleens grow in its place. Since then I have had some ultra sounds and have been told that there are now 4 small spleens. I believe they work as I was never given antibiotics to counter infections and at first it took a while to recover from colds but now I recover quite quickly.
I had my spleen removed after a car accident at age 14. I took antibiotics for 3 years following the accident. (I include this because the above person seems to think antibiotics will inhibit growth.)
I formed a small replacement spleen. These spleens do not come from nowhere and they are not reformations the original spleen.
The form from small lymph like nodes located near the spleen. Only some people have them and occasionally after a spleen is removed (A spleen is basically a large complex lymph node) This small node will take over some of the functions of the spleen.
There is nothing magical about it; It is simply the act of a previously useless node partially taking over the function of the spleen. It does grow in size and can be quite helpful. However it does not (as far as my research shows) protect against encapsulated bacteria like a spleen would.
Encapsulated bacteria being possibly the largest threat to a person lacking a spleen.
This is NOT regeneration of the original spleen.
It is a node taking over some of the functions of the spleen.
No it cant, the liver is the only organ that can regenerate itself
I'm not sure if you think you need one then go to da doctor .
Spleen does not grow back, once it is removed. You have to remove spleen, say in hypersplenism.
no
Maybe
It is replaced by salt water.
Brain Cells, necrotic cells and burned dermis cells cannot regenerate themselves.
That is called as Spleen.
The spleen is the largest organ of the Lymphatic system.
the scientific name for spleen is spleen xD
Ruptured spleen does not heal itself. You have to go for surgical repair. Ruptured portion has to be removed.
No, DNA cannot regenerate as soon as it divides.
The liver.
Yes, eyelashes can regenerate.
the starfish which can regenerate itself
An organ of the lymphatic system, the spleen filters blood and destroys old blood cells by sending them to the liver and elsewhere. The spleen also removes foreign matter such as bacteria and produces lymphocytes, cells that are essential for immunity. In humans, the spleen also stores blood to meet additional demands. If part of the spleen is removed, the spleen can sometimes regenerate.
It is replaced by salt water.
Brain Cells, necrotic cells and burned dermis cells cannot regenerate themselves.
Most splenic tumors don't begin in the spleen, and those that do are quite often lymphomas. Lymphoma is a kind of blood growth that creates in the lymphatic framework. It is more regular for a lymphoma to begin in another piece of the lymphatic framework and attack the spleen than it is for lymphoma to begin in the spleen itself.
Splenomegaly is the enlargement of the spleen and is generally caused by infectious diseases such as mononucleosis or other diseases such as cancer or a bacterial infection.
No. grass will continue to regenerate itself from the ground. Grasshoppers do not graze on the roots.
That is called as Spleen.
