Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The spleen filters blood, removing old and damaged red blood cells and pathogens. While it does contain lymphocytes, it is not their primary function within the spleen. It does not produce antibodies or memory cells, which are functions of lymph nodes and bone marrow. It also does not filter lymph, which is primarily the role of lymph nodes.
