The spleen is not necessary for life but does have important functions: 1. Defense -macrophages lining sinusoids of spleen remove microorganisms from blood and phagocytose (eat) them. 2. Hematopoiesis -monocytes (white blood cell) and lymphocytes (white blood cell) complete their development in the spleen. 3. Red blood cell and platelet destruction-macrophages remove worn-out RBCs and imperfect platelets and destroy them by phagocytosis (eating); also salvage iron and globin from destroyed RBCs 4. Blood reservoir -pulp of spleen and its sinuses store blood for when you really need extra blood. If you noticed a "stitch" in your side when running hard, that is the spleen adding blood to the system so you will get oxygen.
