Abstract

ABSTRACT
introduction: Spleen is an important lymphoid organ of human body in the upper left part of the abdomen. Spleen performs various functions as it produces immune response against blood-borne antigens and acts as the graveyard of defective and aged erythrocytes. It exhibits sexual dimorphism. The present study is conducted to evaluate sexual dimorphism in morphometry of spleen (spleen weight, length, width, thickness and surface area) in the Haryana region. Region-wise assessment of spleen size gives a broad perspective of spleen sizes and also helps in understanding the ranges in morphometry of spleen with respect to gender. The study proves helpful in context of providing spleen size for spleen transplantation. materials and methods: After taking permission from Institute Ethics Committee, 30 male and 30 female adult human spleens in the age group of 16-70 years belonging to the Haryana region of North India were included in the study. The study was conducted in the Anatomy department along with collaboration from the Forensic department at Pt. B.D. Sharma PGIMS, Rohtak. The data thus obtained was recorded and analysed using suitable software. results: Statistical significance in dimorphism of splenic weight, length and splenic total surface area in males and females. The results of the present study would be useful for anthropologists, and forensic medicine experts to identify a spleen.
