Lien is the medical name for the spleen, which is part of the human digestive system. Serves to maintain a certain volume and composition of blood in the bloodstream. Structurally, it is divided into two large objects: the capsule proper and the parenchyma of the organ itself. The main function of Liene is to produce antibodies, blood cells and retain sufficient blood volume. During the digestion process (with the help of bacteria and food enzymes), excess acids, ammonia, and folic acid are released. Lien is also responsible for cleansing the entire circulatory system of harmful substances. In the event of a serious injury or illness, the need for blood decreases, and then anemia occurs.
From the point of view of practical medicine, the spleen organ itself is a rudimentary organ, the loss of which does not cause much harm to human health. Some sources contain information that in terms of the structure and functioning of the spleen organs, humans are similar to monkeys; their underdeveloped organs can be considered as rudiments.
