A nurse is talking about an organ capable of releasing up to 200 ml of blood into the circulation to
restore blood volume in case of hemorrhage. Which organ is the nurse describing? - Answer✔✔-Spleen
The venous sinuses (and the red pulp) can store more than 300 ml of blood. Sudden reductions in blood
pressure cause the sympathetic nervous system to stimulate constriction of the sinuses and expel as
much as 200 ml of blood into the venous circulation, helping to restore blood volume or pressure in the
circulation and increasing the hematocrit by as much as 4%. The liver has hematologic function,
especially during fetal development, but it does not store blood in a reservoir. The pancreas releases
hormones and digestive enzymes. Bone marrow is a primary lymphoid organ that does not store blood in
a reservoir.
