What abdominal structure can cause life-threatening hemorrhaging if injured?
  1. Liver
  2. Spleen
  3. Intestine
  4. Kidney
Explanation
Answer - B - The spleen can cause life-threatening hemorrhaging if injured. The spleen is part of the immune system and is the most delicate of all abdominal organs. This is due to the spleen being engorged with blood that can cause hemorrhaging if it ruptures. However, the spleen is protected by the ribs, spine, and flank and back muscles.
