IF, and I mean IF I'm not mistaken, I think that that would have to be your liver. I'm not one hundered percent sure, but 10th grade Biology gets you somewhere.

What happens to worn out red blood cells?

Worn out red blood cells are removed by the spleen, liver, and bone marrow. The cells are broken down and their components are recycled or excreted from the body. This process helps maintain the appropriate level of healthy red blood cells in circulation.


What term means to destroy worn-out red blood cells and to liberate hemoglobin?

Haemolysis (or hemolysis) is the rupturing of red blood cells which releases haemoglobin (hemoglobin).This term refers to the rupturing of any red blood cell, not specifically worn-out ones (in many disease-states healthy red blood cells undergo haemolysis).Eryptosis is the term used for the programmed death of red blood cells. This is the normal process for worn-out red blood cells. It involves phagocytosis by macrophages in the spleen, liver and/or bone marrow.


How does the spleen work with other systems to keep the body healthy.?

The spleen plays a role in the immune system by filtering blood to remove old and damaged red blood cells and pathogens. It also stores blood and helps regulate the immune response by producing antibodies and immune cells. Additionally, the spleen works with the liver in recycling iron from old red blood cells for reuse in new ones.


What is the large cell that engulfs foreign material and worn out red cells called?

The large cell that engulfs foreign material and worn out red cells is called a macrophage. Macrophages are a type of white blood cell that play a key role in the immune system by engulfing and digesting pathogens, cell debris, and other harmful substances.


A white blood cell surrounds and engulfs a worn out red blood cell forming a vesicle around the red blood cell this process is called?

Phagocytosis is the process where a white blood cell surrounds, engulfs, and forms a vesicle around a worn-out red blood cell for elimination. This is a key mechanism by which the immune system clears out old or damaged cells from the body.

Which organelle breaks down waste and worn out cells?

A lysosome destroys and digests damaged organelles and wastes.


What are the function of spleen?

The primary function of the spleen is the filtering of blood and removal of abnormal blood cells by phagocytosis. The spleen also stores iron from worn-out blood cells, which is then returned to the circulation and used by the bone marrow to produce new blood cells. The immune reaction begins in the spleen with the activation of immune response by B cells and T cells in response to antigens in the blood.


Is the white blood cell disposin of a worn out red blood cell by endocytosis or phagocytosis?

White blood cells dispose of worn-out red blood cells through phagocytosis. They engulf and digest the old red blood cells to remove them from circulation efficiently.


What happens to worn-out red blood cells in the liver?

The liver processes part of the worn-out red blood cells in the liver for reuse. Tubes from the liver lead to the top of the small intestine. The rest of the parts of the worn out red blood cells are sent there to be re-digested and the parts reused.


What are the main jobs for the spleen?

The main jobs of the spleen include filtering the blood to remove old or damaged red blood cells, storing platelets and white blood cells for immune response, and producing antibodies to help fight infections.
