SPLEEN OF MAMMALIA. 557 and hindrance to dilatation, prevent any local congestion of bloodpressing upon the brain. § 350. Spleen of Mammalia.—As with the absorbents, so with 429. the bloodvessels, some changetheir tubular for a lacunar orcellular form in certain parts,where the blood undergoes, orreceives elements of, change;such parts, resembling 1 glands,are so called, with the qualifyingepithets of vascular or duct-less. Of these ( vasoganglionsthe chief is the spleen. In Mammals this organ isrelatively larger than in lowerVertebrates : it is mainly ap-pended to the artery that sup-plies the pancreas, with the leftend of which gland it is inclose connection, and conse-quently lies to the left or be-hind the stomach, to which it isattached by the fold of perito-neum noted at p. 500. Thismembrane covers the whole spleen, except thetwo folds support the splenic vessels and form the6 gastro-splenic ligament. The serous tunic is lessintimately adherent to the fibrous or proper capsulein most lower Mammals (Ruminants, ) than inMan ; where the separation only takes place at thehilus. The proper coat consists mainly, and in Manwholly, of white and yellow fibres
