Detailed explanation-1: -The diaphragmatic surface is related to the diaphragm; the diaphragm separates the spleen from the pleura and the lung.

Detailed explanation-2: -The inferior border (internal border) separates the diaphragmatic from the colic surface. The spleen is almost entirely surrounded by peritoneum, which is firmly adherent to its capsule. It is held in position by two folds of this membrane.

Detailed explanation-3: -The spleen is located in the upper left abdominal cavity, just beneath the diaphragm, and posterior to the stomach. It is similar to a lymph node in shape and structure but it is much larger. The spleen is the largest lymphatic organ in the body.
