Splenic Pocket

The splenic recess (or reces sus lienais) is a small pocket on the side wall of the abdominal cavity that is located next to all the abdominal organs. It is filled with serous fluid and serves to store some blood and lymph. The spleen sac is the most important organ of blood formation, as it contains special cells that participate in the formation of the immune system, and also quickly restores blood supply during ischemia of the brain or heart. The spleen sac is also involved in enzymatic digestion
