Detailed explanation-2: -The spleen is an important immune effector organ since it orchestrates innate and adaptive immune responses such as pathogen clearance, cytokine production, and differentiation of cells, therefore playing a modulatory role that balances pro-and anti-inflammatory responses.

Detailed explanation-3: -The neutrophils leave the blood and enter the tissue, drawn to the damaged area by chemicals released by the disrupted cells. Various kinds of white blood cells can surround, engulf, and ingest smaller items, such as bacteria and cellular debris, in a process known as phagocytosis (“cell eating”).
