It is likely that the major functions of the red pulp and marginal zone are clearance and modification of certain hemal elements. Damaged erythrocytes, aged erythrocytes (Weiss,'62), Foa-Kurloff cells (Nadel,'52), lymphocytes from the thymus (Fichtelius,'60), granulocytes in shock and in hibernation, thorium dioxide and other colloidal matter in plasma (Weiss,'62), endotoxin, are examples of elements cleared by the spleen. In some instances, as granulocytes of animals in shock and plasmal thorium dioxide, these functions are shared with the liver, other parts of the reticuloendothelial system, and even the lungs and kidneys. In other cases, as the FOB-Kurloff cell and lymphocytes produced in the thymus, the spleen's role in sequestration may be more selective. Nice discriminations exist: moderately damaged erythrocytes are selectively removed from the circulation by the spleen; severely damaged erythrocytes, by the liver and reticuloendothelial system as a whole (Jandl and Kaplan,'60; Winkelman, Wagner, McAfee and Mozley,'60). Once cleared from the blood, the trapped elements meet varied fates. Impaired erythrocytes are phagocytized. Lymphocytes and monocytes may undergo transformation into plasma cells and macrophages. Other cells may remain stored varying lengths of time and re-enter the circulation, morphologically unchanged
