PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Your spleen’s main function is to act as a filter for your blood. It recognizes and removes old, malformed, or damaged red blood cells. When blood flows into your spleen, your spleen performs “quality control"; your red blood cells must pass through a maze of narrow passages.

Detailed explanation-2: -The spleen holds around 25–30% of the body’s red blood cells and about 25% of its platelets. The spleen’s immune function involves detecting pathogens, such as bacteria, and producing white blood cells and antibodies in response to threats.
