Kaelo's Quiet Task in the Spleen

Kaelo, a diligent macrophage cell in the spleen, identifies an aging red blood cell that has finished its 120-day journey of carrying oxygen. Through the process of phagocytosis, Kaelo gently engulfs the cell, breaks down its components, extracts and packages vital iron for the bone marrow, and prepares the remaining byproducts for the liver.
