Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The spleen contains red pulp, which is involved in filtering blood and removing old or damaged red blood cells. It does not have afferent lymphatic vessels, as lymph does not flow into the spleen, but it does have efferent lymphatic vessels for lymph to exit. Aggregated lymphatic follicles and red bone marrow are not associated with the spleen.
