Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The spleen also helps get rid of germs. It contains white blood cells called lymphocytes and macrophages. These cells work to attack and destroy germs and remove them from the blood that passes through the spleen. The body also uses the spleen as a place to store blood and iron for future use.
Detailed explanation-2: -The white pulp is structurally similar to a lymph node, contains T-cell and B-cell zones (the latter are also called follicles), and allows generation of antigen-specific immune responses that protect the body against diseases against blood-borne bacterial, viral and fungal infections.
