MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Spleen. 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The spleen also removes unhealthy, old, and misshapen red blood cells from circulation. Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body and remove carbon dioxide (a waste product). These disc-shaped cells are filtered by the spleen based on their physical characteristics.

Detailed explanation-3: -The spleen is a fist-sized organ found in the upper left side of your abdomen, next to your stomach and behind your left ribs. It’s an important part of your immune system but you can survive without it. This is because the liver can take over many of the spleen’s functions.
