Some other names for the spleen include lien, splen, and lienal organ.
Unlike the rest of the abdominal organs which are derived from endoderm, the spleen is mesodermal in origin.
The spleen is located in the upper left side of the abdomen, in the intraperitoneal space. It is partially covered by the greater omentum and is surrounded by peritoneum, which helps to support and protect the organ. However, unlike other intraperitoneal organs, the spleen is not suspended by a mesentery.
The spleen is located in the abdominal cavity.
Some of the jobs of the spleen are taken over by the liver, but not all. The spleen stores platelets for instance. This job is not done by anything after the spleen is removed, but this is really not too big of a deal. The spleen also takes apart red blood cells after they are dead and can reuse the material taken from them (This process also creates bilirubin which is taken by the liver and is an ingredient of bile, the substance stored in your gallbladder and used in digestion). The spleen is also part of your lymphatic and immune system, so there are some jobs that go undone. There are meds that patients of spleen removal must take for the rest of their life after a splenectomy.
A splenectomy is the surgical removal of the spleen.
