Answer:

spleen

The spleen is a lymph organ that filters blood and also acts as a reservoir for blood. The thymus is large in the infant and atrophies after puberty.

Explanation:

The lymphoid organs include the red bone marrow, thymus, spleen and clusters of lymph nodes (Fig 1). They have many functional roles in the body, most notably: Production of blood cells, including red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leucocytes) and platelets (thrombocytes)

Lymphoid organs

  • Bone marrow. Bone marrow is a sponge-like tissue found inside the bones. ...
  • Thymus. The thymus is located behind the breastbone above the heart. ...
  • Lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are small bean-shaped tissues found along the lymphatic vessels. ...
  • Spleen. ...
  • Tonsils. ...
  • Mucous membranes.

Red blood cells are formed in the red bone marrow of bones. Stem cells in the red bone marrow are called hemocytoblasts. They give rise to all of the formed elements in blood. If a stem cell commits to becoming a cell called a proerythroblast, it will develop into a new red blood cell.
