Tissues in the spleen consist of two types-red pulp and white pulp. Red pulp serves as a reservoir for RBCs and destroys old, worn out red blood cells. White pulp is a reservoir for lymphocytes and macrophages, and functions similarly to lymph nodes as a site of battle between lymphatic cells and pathogens.
