Spleen

The spleen is located under the diaphragm and behind the stomach. It can get enlarged during an infection.

Explanation:

The spleen is a large lymph organ. It is highly vascularized and contains a meshwork that sieves out old and misshaped erythrocytes.  It acts as a quality control measure for red blood cells.  The organs has macrophages that engulf and digest the red blood cells that fail quality control and foreign matter. The spleen stores the iron the cell as bilirubin and is recycled yo make new blood cells in the red bone marrow.

The spleen also stores red blood cells hence your spleen helps you recover blood cells (and maintain the right blood pressure) when you lose a considerable amount of blood from a deep cut.
