#9… Red Blood Cells are produced in Bone Marrow and last about 120 days before dying NOT in the Brain, Spleen, Heart or Stomach as the options given 🤔
This is correct, the spleen filters out the dying or damaged red blood cells. All the haematology and anatomy texts state this point very clearly. My trade prior to retirement was as a medical technologist working in pathology.
