it stores and then destroys red blood cells and makes lymphocytes.
I'm assuming it's because.... The spleen filters out the blood that's is going throughout the body. Polycythemia is excessive production of RBc. Soo, if there is excessive blood and the spleen is filtering all of it, it is working hard causing it to become enlarge.
The Red Blood Cells are stored in the spleen
liver and kidneys
spleen is a secondary lymphoid organ. let me explain this in simple word. spleen has abundant macrophages, which can sense abnormalities of red blood cells(RBC) and pletlet. abnormal and old RBC and pletlet are removed from circulation by spleen. so many conditions in which spleen gets bigger that would remove more pletlet even if they are normal, leading to decrese the count of pletlet.
The spleen has two purposes. The first purpose of the spleen is to filter your blood of old blood cells and any foreign bodies. The second purpose of the spleen is to coordiante the immune system.

Filters blood, recycles old red blood cells, aids in the production of new white blood cells
the spleen.
Yes, it can. The viruses affects the production of platelets and the spleen is important in recycling the blood.
The spleen.
The spleen
No. Blood cells are formed in the bone marrow, especially the large bones (femur, pelvis).
The human spleen is an organ that creates lymphocytes for the destruction and recycling of old red-blood cells. The spleen is also a blood reservoir. It supplies the body with blood in emergencies such as a bad cut. The spleen is also the location where white blood cells trap organisms. Pigs are very similar to humans so i thought this might help you.
Yes it can affect your spleen as the types of blood cells cannot work functionally to support your spleen.
A fish's spleen does what a human's spleen does, releases blood cells when needed
In healthy adults, about 30% of blood platelets are sequestered in the spleen.
