The spleen is part of what system in the human body?
Like the thymus, the spleen possesses only efferent lymphatic vessels. The spleen is part of the lymphatic system. Both the short gastric arteries and the splenic artery supply it with blood.
The spleen is part of what major systems in the human body?
Lymphatic system Immune system (Lymphatic system) immune system
Spleen
The spleen synthesizes antibodies in its white pulp and removes antibody-coated bacteria and antibody-coated blood cells by way of blood and lymph node circulation. A study published in 2009 using mice found that the red pulp of the spleen forms a reservoir that contains over half of the body's monocytes. These monocytes, upon moving to injured tissue (such as the heart after myocardial infarction), turn into dendritic cells and macrophages while promoting tissue healing. The spleen is a center of activity of the mononuclear phagocyte system and is analogous to a large lymph node, as its absence causes a predisposition to certain infections.
The spleen is center of activity of what specific immune system in the human body?

Macrophages (abbreviated as Mφ, MΦ or MP) (Greek: large eaters, from Greek μακρός (makrós) = large, φαγεῖν (phagein) = to eat) are a type of white blood cell of the immune system that engulfs and digests anything that does not have, on its surface, proteins that are specific to healthy body cells, including cancer cells, microbes, cellular debris, foreign substances, etc.
Macrophage
The spleen is part of the Lymphatic system, or immune system, of the human body. It is the center of activity of the mononuclear phagocytic system, formerly known as the reticuloendothelial system. This macrophage system consists of white blood cells that engulf and digest anything that does not have, on its surface, proteins that are specific to healthy body cells.
