so the question recently what is your

spleen and I haven’t done any videos on

this so this is gonna be a real quick

video so the spleen is located

underneath the right ribcage on the

outside right here underneath your

diaphragm and it’s about 2.8 to 5.5

inches for those people and that know

about the metric system that’s 7 to 14

centimeters okay now what does this

balloon do well if you’ve ever seen

these junkyards where people roll up

their damaged junky car and then there’s

a recycling plant attached to it that’s

extracting metals and things in putting

them to the recycling plant that’s what

your spleen is it’s a recycling plant

for your blood and iron there’s iron in

your car right well there’s also iron in

the blood and you’re recycling this

precious metal and damaged red blood

cells old red blood cells mouth shaped

and ‘disformed red blood cells and the

body is then converting them into

brand-new amino acids because if these

red blood cells are not monitored

closely then it can create a lot of

damage in the vascular system it could

clog things up so this is the primary

function right here but it also acts as

a blood reserve it holds about a cup of

blood just in case you might need it it

also enhances your immune system so if

you have your spleen removed your

susceptibility to getting infections

does go up to a certain degree so you

have to really make sure that you stay

healthy so there’s an immune component

part so that’s pretty much what your
