The spleen is a vital organ, which plays a huge role in the immune system. The spleen is located in the abdomen of the body, where it functions in the destruction of old red blood cells and holds a reservoir of blood. Until 1993, the purpose of the spleen was not known. It is increasingly recognized that its absence leads to a predisposition to certain infections.The related link goes to a picture which shows you the location of the spleen.
