Detailed explanation-2: -The spleen is located in the abdominal (tummy) area on the left side, just under the diaphragm. It is the largest of our lymphatic organs. The spleen does many things as it filters and monitors our blood. It contains a range of cells, including macrophages – the body’s garbage trucks.
