PATHOLOGY

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 spleen fights certain types of bacteria Your spleen is also wonderful for picking out any unwelcome bugs from your blood stream. Specialised white blood cells, called lymphocytes, munch up the bacteria that have a coat around them (encapsulated bacteria) and destroy them.

Detailed explanation-3: -The lymph nodes and other lymphatic structures like the spleen and thymus hold special white blood cells called lymphocytes. These can rapidly multiply and release antibodies in response to bacteria, viruses, and a range of other stimuli from dead or dying cells and abnormally behaving cells such as cancer cells.
