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.
