The spleen is a fist-shaped organ located on the left side of the body just under the diaphragm. You might think that the spleen, like the appendix, was relatively useless since we tend to remove it whenever it is ruptured. While it is true that an individual can live quite well without a spleen, s/he tends to be much more susceptible to blood infections. It would appear that the spleen is a filtering site for bacteria and other invading cells. There is a high concentration of both T-cells and B-lymphocytes in the spleen that detect any non-resident cells, match them against known invaders, and produce antibodies if appropriate. The spleen also will remove dead cells and other debris from the blood. If the spleen is removed, the individual is up to 50 times more susceptible to infection,
particularly diseases such as pneumonia and malaria. The best title for this paragraph is A) “New Research Shows the Spleen’s High Concentration of T-cells.” B) “The Spleen: As Useless as the Appendix.” C) “The Spleen: More Crucial to Your Well-Being Than You Think.”
