Blood enters the spleen through the trabecular arteries and flows into the central arteries, which then branch out into capillaries. From there, the blood flows to the reticular tissue of the red pulp, where it interacts with macrophages and other immune cells. From there, the blood flows into the sinusoids, where it interacts with the endothelial cells lining the walls of these vessels. Finally, the blood flows into the trabecular veins and exits the spleen.
