Detailed explanation-1: -The spleen has a few important functions. It fights any invading germs in the blood (the spleen contains infection-fighting white blood cells). It controls the level of blood cells. The spleen controls the level of white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets (small cells that form blood clots).
Detailed explanation-2: -Your spleen also plays an important part in your immune system, which helps your body fight infection. Just as it detects faulty red blood cells, your spleen can pick out any unwelcome micro-organisms (like bacteria or viruses) in your blood.
Detailed explanation-3: -The white pulp (WP) is the primary immunologic region of the spleen in both species; however, the WP makes up less than a quarter of splenic tissue. The red pulp (RP) makes up the majority of the tissue and has an immune function distinct from that of the WP.
