<p>The spleen develops in association with the digestive system in the dorsal mesogastrium, and as the [[Forestomach - Anatomy & Physiology|stomach]] rotates during development the spleen comes to occupy the left cranial abdomen. Haematopoietic cells in the spleen are derived from the AGM (aorta-gonad-mesonephros) and yolk sac and as the [[Primary Lymphoid Tissue - Anatomy & Physiology|primary lymphoid organs]] become established it becomes populated with [[Lymphocytes#Types|T and B lymphocytes]].</p>
