Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The enlarged capillaries within the red pulp of the spleen are called splenic sinusoids, which have a discontinuous basal lamina that allows blood cells to enter and exit easily. Trabecular vessels and splenic vessels are not specific to the red pulp of the spleen, and splenic cords and trabecular cords are not structures found within the spleen.
