Knowledge is power

Yahallo! I'm 22yo and I'm 4th year, studying medicine (main blog: the-summer-within-me.tumblr.com). I live in Bucharest and I'm also an otaku. I'm very motivated to finish medschool and at the moment I'm building my inner strength. That said, nice to meet you all.

What even is the spleen?

Function

Similar in structure to a large lymph node

Acts primarily as a blood filter. 

Removes old red blood cells and holds a reserve of blood, which can be valuable in case of hemorrhagic shock

recycles iron 

as a part of the mononuclear phagocyte system, it metabolizes haemoglobin removed from senescent red blood cells (erythrocytes). 

 synthesizes antibodies in its white pulp and removes antibody-coated bacteria and antibody-coated blood cells by way of blood and lymph node circulation. 

Structure

The spleen contains two main regions of tissue called white pulp and red pulp.

Red pulp: Contains venous sinuses (cavities filled with blood), and splenic cords (connective tissues containing red blood cells and white blood cells).

White pulp: Mostly consists of immune cells (T cells and B cells).

Pathology

Enlarged Spleen (Splenomegaly): caused by eg viral mononucleosis (“mono”), liver disease, blood cancers (lymphoma and leukemia), etc

Ruptured spleen: can cause life-threatening internal bleeding 

Sickle cell disease:  inherited anaemia, abnormal red blood cells block the flow of blood through vessels and can lead to organ damage, including damage to the spleen. 

Thrombocytopenia (low platelet count): enlarged spleen sometimes stores excessive numbers of the body’s platelets. 

Accessory spleen: About 10% of people have a small extra spleen. This causes no problems and is considered normal.

It is possible to live without a spleen, but the individual will be more susceptible to various pathologies including infection.

Can I just celebrate while posting this cringy photo that I’ve got an 8 at pharmacology exam? Cuz yeah, it might not sound great, but I worked for it

YEY, I GOT AN 8! 🎊🎉🎉🎉

[almostageek-blog]

I just wanted to brag about my pharmacology tables. I believe at least for me, this is a really good hack to learn comparatively and visually (I even have a colour code (maybe just an attempt) Fun pharmacology facts: 1. procainamide and hydralazine have as adverse reaction LUPOID SYNDROME(which appears more frequently at people who are slow acetylators) (the first one is an antiarrythmic drug, class IA and the second one is a direct vasodilator) 2.AMIODARONE (class III antiarrythmic) as side effect is accumulating in the eye, causing vision problems, in the skin and it may affect thyroid gland causing hiper or hipo thyroid. 3.Ivabradine (antianginal drug) slows down the heart rate by inhibiting the funny current ion channels. I m praying that I didn't ruin pharmacology with my poor med-English. I m really good at understanding like all med-yt-videos but when writing I m dumb as hell. Ps. If you want any recomandations for YouTube cool videos or channels just send a message
