Surplus red blood cells, needed to meet an emergency, are MAINLY stored in which organ of the human body?

Surplus red cells are stored mainly in the spleen.
It holds a reserve that contraction of its smooth muscle can release into the circulation during haemorrhage or strenuous exercise. The spleen also filters out worn-out red cells, which is why it is called the graveyard of erythrocytes.
