We just learned about the Basophil.
Another part of the lymphatic system is the Spleen.
This is a small organ about 3 inches long in the upper left part of the body, behind the stomach.
The spleen has a few jobs: - Remove old red blood cells that aren't good anymore
- Keep some extra blood in case of bleeding
- Recycles iron from old blood back into the body
- Fights bacteria and viruses using lymphocytes
