Which body organ acts as blood bank and why?

Answered by admin @



Spleen is the body organ which acts as a blood bank  .This is because spleen's blood reserve can be valuable in case of hemorrhagic shocks.
                                          
Hemorrhagic shock occurs when the body begins to shut down due to large amounts of blood loss.
