In times of great struggle thes. physiologists point out, it is de- sirable that the animal should sur- vive as the result of muscular strength, even though some dam- age to the kidney may result. The muscles must have the last ounce of blood, they can get, in order t
save the animal's life.
in leas severe occasions the spleen can provide the extra blood weeded and save the draw that otherwise might be made on the vital organs. It is interesting to know that psychological or emo- ilonal processes that are likely to culminate in violence also cause the spleen to become pale and to con- træet somewhat, anticipating thei actual exercise.
The contraction of the spleen jeems to be subject to control thugh the nervous system, which serves also to link up its action with the brain centres during strong emotions.
