Abstract

he spleen is the largest secondary lymphatic organ involved in filtering the blood and initiating immune responses against blood borne antigens. The present study was carried out on the spleen of fox collected from the Department of Veterinary Pathology. Grossly, spleen was tongue shaped and dark brown in colour. It was located in the left cranial quadrant of the abdomen. Histologically, the spleen was surrounded by a thick capsule composed mainly of dense collagen fibers with a few smooth muscle fibers. Thick trabeculae consisting of collagen, few elastic and smooth muscle fibers extended from the capsule into the parenchyma. The splenic parenchyma was composed of red pulp with extensive venous sinuses, venules and spleniccords. White pulp was distributed throughout the spleen and was composed of lymphatic nodules with a central artery, and diffuse lymphatic tissue arranged as periarteriolar lymphatic sheaths (PALS).
