The spleen does not make red blood cells. It acts as a very large lymph node and a reserve for extra blood if needed during hemorrhage. It is part of the immune system. A person can live without the spleen.
Spleen is called "પ્લેન" (pronounced as "pleen") in Gujarati.
Hemorrhage: Bleeding or the abnormal flow of blood. The patient may have an internal hemorrhage that is invisible or an external hemorrhage that is visible on the outside of the body. Bleeding into the spleen or liver is internal hemorrhage. Bleeding from a cut on the face is an external hemorrhage. The term "hemorrhagic" comes from the Greek "haima," blood + rhegnumai," to break forth = a free and forceful escape of blood.
Almost all vertebrates have a spleen. This means they have a "backbone". The function of the spleen is to filter the blood and to act as a reserve in case of heavy bleeding.
The spleen helps filter blood by removing old or damaged red blood cells, fighting infections by producing antibodies, and storing reserve blood cells to release in case of emergency, such as during hemorrhage.

Bleeding from the spleen is medically known as splenic hemorrhage. It can be caused by trauma, ruptured blood vessels, or underlying medical conditions like an aneurysm. Immediate medical attention is crucial to address the bleeding and prevent complications.
Bleeding from the spleen, known as splenic hemorrhage, can occur due to trauma, infections, or underlying medical conditions like leukemia. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, lightheadedness, and signs of shock. Treatment typically involves surgery to stop the bleeding and may require removal of the spleen in severe cases.
The surgical removal of the spleen is called a splenectomy.Splenectomy.Spleenectomy.
