Its hematopoietic activity in the formation of erythrocytes, leukocytes and thrombocytes is generally appreciated; but its wealth of reticulo-endothelium determines certain further functions that are less widely understood. Bile pigment is formed in great amounts in the marrow. Antibodies are likewise developed through reticulo-endothelial activity. However, particular attention in the present relation is directed toward the commoner cellular elements of the circulating...References1.
