GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The human body stores iron in the form of ferritin and hemosiderin in liver, spleen, marrow, duodenum, skeletal muscle and other anatomic areas. Hemosiderin has been known as yellow-brownish granules that can be stained by Prussian blue in the tissue cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Always economical, your spleen saves any useful components from the old cells, such as iron. It stores iron in the form of ferritin or bilirubin, and eventually returns the iron to your bone marrow, where hemoglobin is made.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most of the body’s iron is bound to hemoglobin in erythrocytes. Iron from senescent red blood cells is recycled by macrophages in the spleen, liver and bone marrow.
