It acts as a filter for blood as part of the immune system. Old red blood cells are recycled in the spleen, and platelets and white blood cells are stored there. The spleen also helps fight certain kinds of bacteria that cause pneumonia and meningitis. One problem that can happen is an enlarged spleen. If it becomes severe, your spleen can rupture and cause a sudden, sharp pain on the left side of your upper abdomen.]]> 2017-12-13 16:22:17 UTC https://padlet.com/hcps_fowlersc/ivi4s3g3g1bc/wish/215862337 hcps_fowlersc https://padlet.com/hcps_fowlersc/ivi4s3g3g1bc/wish/216170798 Your immune system is your body's defense against infection and illness.
