Detailed explanation-1: -The spleen acts as a filter. It weeds out old and damaged cells and helps control the amount of blood and blood cells that circulate in the body. The spleen also helps get rid of germs. It contains white blood cells called lymphocytes and macrophages.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lymph nodes are small, oval structures located along the lymph vessels. Any pathogens filtered out of the lymph at lymph nodes are destroyed by lymphocytes in the nodes.
Detailed explanation-3: -This fluid is filtered through the lymph nodes, and drains back into the bloodstream. There are lymph nodes throughout your body, but mainly in the neck, armpits, groin and tummy (abdomen). They filter and break down bacteria (germs) or other harmful cells from the lymph fluid. Lymph nodes vary in size.
