Answer:

I'm pretty sure the answer is the white pulp

Step-by-step explanation:

The white pulp (WP) is the primary immunologic region of the spleen in both species; however, the WP makes up less than a quarter of splenic tissue. The red pulp (RP) makes up the majority of the tissue and has an immune function distinct from that of the WP.
