سپڵ
A small organ in the upper left abdomen that filters the blood and supports defense.
The spleen sits under the ribs on the left side and works as a filter for old and used red blood cells. It also strengthens the body’s defense by collecting white cells and platelets to face infection. Its size is watched during medical examinations.
«The ultrasound showed that his spleen is healthy and of normal size.»
