The organ described as highly vascular, gland-like but ductless near the cardiac end of the stomach, in which the blood undergoes corpuscular changes, is known as what?

• A. Tissue
• B. Spleen
• C. Stryker Saw
• D. Trauma

Answer: (B)

The spleen is the organ described. It’s a highly vascular structure that functions like a gland in its immune and hematologic roles but has no ducts. It sits near the cardiac end of the stomach, in the left upper abdomen, and its internal pulp (red and white) processes blood cells—old red cells are removed and immune responses are coordinated. The other options don’t fit this combination of vascular, ductless gland-like function near the stomach and involvement with blood cell changes.
