Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The spleen resembles a large lymph node divided into lobules. It contains white pulp (lymphoid tissue) and red pulp (blood-filled tissue). While the spleen does have immune functions, including filtering and removing old or damaged red blood cells and producing some types of white blood cells, it does not produce T or B lymphocytes.
