Why is it important?
Spleen is the organ of anatomic & functional component of reticulo endothelial system & functions as a complex filter interposed in blood stream. Haematopoietic function of spleen continues & regresses after birth but production of lymphocytes continues in postnatal life. This study was done to correlate the chronological pattern of spleen development in this geographical eastern region of India, Odisha & compare the results from other researchers nationwide & worldwide. Aborted human foetuses without obvious congenital anomaly of gestational age between 12 weeks and 36 weeks were collected and processed for histology by H/E stain to note the differences of fetal spleen with the adult spleen.
