These structures provide a supportive framework for the spleen and play a crucial role in maintaining its shape and integrity.<br /> <br /> == Structure ==<br /> The trabeculae are composed of [[connective tissue]] and contain [[collagen]] fibers, [[elastic fibers]], and [[smooth muscle]] cells. They originate from the [[splenic capsule]] and penetrate the [[splenic parenchyma]], dividing it into smaller compartments. These compartments are filled with [[white pulp]] and [[red pulp]], which are essential for the spleen&#039;s immune and hematological functions.<br /> <br /> == Function ==<br /> The primary function of the trabeculae is to provide structural support to the spleen. They help maintain the organ&#039;s shape and prevent it from collapsing. Additionally, the trabeculae serve as conduits for blood vessels and nerves, facilitating the distribution of blood and innervation throughout the spleen.<br /> <br /> == Clinical Significance ==<br /> Damage or disease affecting the trabeculae can compromise the structural integrity of the spleen, potentially leading to conditions such as [[splenomegaly]] or [[splenic rupture]]. Understanding the anatomy and function of the trabeculae is important for diagnosing and treating splenic disorders.<br /> <br /> == See Also ==<br /> * [[Spleen]]<br /> * [[White pulp]]<br /> * [[Red pulp]]<br /> * [[Splenic capsule]]<br /> * [[Splenomegaly]]<br /> * [[Splenic rupture]]<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Spleen]]<br /> [[Category:Anatomy]]<br /> [[Category:Medicine]]<br /> <br /> {{Anatomy-stub}}</div>
