Is there a spleen in the circulatory system?

Ok, I have no idea what you mean by that question. Technically, since blood flows to the spleen to keep it alive...then yes. But blood flows to every living cell in your body to keep it alive so...yeah. But is the spleen a part of the circulatory system? That is also a yes. It is part of the lymphatic system, not the cardiovascular system. The lymphatic system is a sub-system of the circulatory system that basically helps fight infection, recycle blood plasma, etc. Most people do not think of the lymphatic system as part of the circulatory system though (even though it is) and most use the words "circulatory" and "cardiovascular" interchangeably (even though they're not interchangeable). Seeing as the cardiovascular organs are the heart and blood vessels, if that is what you meant...then no it's not. Please be more specific with your questions.

When you have mononucleosis why does your spleen swell?

Mononucleosis is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, which infects and stimulates the immune system, leading to an enlarged spleen. The spleen is an important organ in the immune system that helps filter and remove old or damaged blood cells, and in response to the virus, it may become enlarged as it works to fight the infection. It's important to be cautious with physical activity when the spleen is enlarged to prevent injury.
