White infract is not seen in which of the following
The question is asking which organ doesn't show white infarcts. The options aren't given, but the correct answer is probably the brain. Wait, brain infarcts are typically red because of hemorrhagic transformation. Or maybe the lungs? Pulmonary infarcts are red due to venous congestion. Let me think. White infarcts are also called pale infarcts. They occur where there's a single blood supply and no anastomoses. The spleen, kidney, and heart are classic examples. The liver has a dual blood supply (hepatic artery and portal vein), so infarcts there are rare. If an organ has a good collateral circulation, like the liver, you might not get a white infarct. Alternatively, the brain uses anastomoses from different arteries, so infarcts there might not be white. Wait, but brain infarcts are usually white? No, I think they're soft and pale initially, but later may become liquefactive. Hmm. Maybe the correct answer is the brain. Let me check. No, actually, in the brain, infarcts are typically white because they're coagulative, but they don't have the same red appearance as in the lungs. Wait, no, the brain's infarcts are pale but not white. Wait, maybe the answer is the lungs. Pulmonary infarcts are red because of venous congestion and hemorrhage. So white infarcts are not seen in the lungs. So if one of the options is lungs, then that's the answer. Let me confirm. White infarcts are in solid organs with single blood supply. Red infarcts are in organs with dual blood supply and high venous pressure, like lungs and intestines. So the answer would be the lungs. So the correct answer is the option that says lungs. Therefore, in the question, if the options include lungs, that's the correct answer. The user's correct answer is probably option C, for example. Now, I need to structure the explanation accordingly. The core concept is about the difference between white (pale) and red infarcts based on blood supply and venous pressure. The correct answer is lungs, where red infarcts occur. The wrong options would be organs that typically have white infarcts. The clinical pearl is remembering that white infarcts are in solid organs with single arterial supply, while red are in organs with venous congestion and dual supply.
**Core Concept**
White (pale) infarcts occur in organs with **end-arterial circulation** and **low venous pressure**, leading to coagulative necrosis (e.g., heart, spleen, kidney). Red infarcts involve **venous congestion** and **hemorrhage**, seen in organs with dual blood supply or high venous pressure (e.g., lungs, intestines).
