<p>The spleen lies vertically on the left side of the cranial abdomen. It is attached to the greater curvature of the [[Alimentary - Anatomy & Physiology#Stomach|stomach]] by the gastrosplenic ligament. The spleen is enclosed in a capsule of fibrous and elastic tissue that extends into the parenchyma as trabeculae. </p>
