Blood volume of the liver and spleen during the action of certain humoral factors
Summary
In acute experiments on dogs a simultaneous study was made of the changes occurring in the liver and spleen congestion following intravenous administration of adrenalin and histamine and in hypoxemia and hypercapnia caused by asphyxia.
Experimental results demonstrated that under the mentioned actions the liver and spleen congestion could change both in one direction (with the adrenalin administration, histamine and in asphyxia). Reduction of blood out-flow from the liver leads to the reduction of the spleen size. Interrelations of the aforementioned blood depots influence the state of circulation and should be taken into consideration in evaluating the depot function of the splanchnic region as a whole is being evaluated.
