The parenchyma of the spleen, consisting of lymphocytes and macrophages. It lies between the splenic trabecula. Red pulp is the part suffused with blood and white pulp consists of areas of lymphatic tissue where there are sleeves of lymphocytes and macrophages.

It sits in the abdomen and trunk, within the lymphatic & immune system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the spleen pulp connects to

The atlas records 4 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of parenchyma of spleen.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the spleen pulp. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.
