Question
The mammalian diving reflex causes this organ to contract more than 20 percent in volume. Macrophages in this organ phagocytose (“FAY-goh-SIGH-toes”) pneumo·cocci and other encapsulated bacteria. The majority of the body’s IgM (“I-G-M”) is made in this organ rather than at a germinal center. This organ is the body’s reservoir of iron before hematopoiesis (“huh-MAT-oh-poh-EE-sis”), which occurs both here and in the bone marrow. After 120 days of circulation, sickled or old (*) erythrocytes get stuck in this organ’s cords. Mononucleosis causes this organ to enlarge until it ruptures or is surgically removed. This organ’s marginal zone divides red and white blood cells into two colored pulps. For 10 points, name this large organ of the lymphatic system found in the upper left abdomen. ■END■
