In which organ RBC are selectively destroyed/ recycled by macrophages?
Correct answer: A. Spleen
- A. Spleen
- B. Kidney
- C. Liver
- D. Pancreas
Explanation
The spleen filters blood and its macrophages remove old or damaged RBCs, recycling their iron and other components. The liver also helps clear worn-out RBCs through Kupffer cells, so students may choose it, but the spleen is the main organ associated with selective RBC destruction and recycling.
