  • blood passes through the slpenic pulp and enters the sinuses where it undergoes squeezing,
  • old and damaged red blood cells  can not withstand the trauma are destroyed.
  • after the cells rupture, the released hemoglobin are further digested and the products reused by the body as nutrients and for making new blood.
