yea in the fetus it develops in the spleen and liver as well as RBC, but in an adult human the RBC and B-cells are developed in red bone marrow (RBC are actually developed in the axial skeleton of an adult)

adult: rbc are devloped in the bone marrow and can be stored in the spleen. they are broken down into bile pigments/salts in the liver

fetus: rbc developed in the liver =)
