When and why the organ replacement is needed?
Many people need an organ transplant due to a genetic condition such as polycystic kidney disease, cystic fibrosis, or a heart defect. Infections such as hepatitis, physical injuries to organs, and damage due to chronic conditions such as diabetes may also cause a person to require a transplant.
What organs can be replaced?
Organs and tissues that can be transplanted include:
- Liver.
- Kidney.
- Pancreas.
- Heart.
- Lung.
- Intestine.
- Corneas.
- Middle ear.
How the organs work together to maintain a healthy body?
Sun up to sun down, your body’s organs are working together to keep you healthy. Your liver breaks down harmful substances in your body, excreting that waste into your blood; your kidneys cleanse your blood of that waste, and your heart pumps the blood throughout the body.
Are organ Donors alive?
With organ donation, the death of one person can lead to the survival of many others. The donor is only kept alive by a ventilator, which their family may choose to remove them from. This person would be considered legally dead when their heart stops beating.
Why is it important to take care of your body organs?
It may even take years but in the long-run, the effort is definitely worth it. Taking better care of our bodies means increased energy levels, and a better ability to accomplish our daily goals. It means better ability to concentrate on any given task, and that our tasks will take less time to complete.

Why is it important that your organs need to work together as one?
Each system has a special job. All of your body systems have to work together to keep you healthy. Your circulatory system carries oxygen, water, and nutrients to cells throughout your body. Wastes from the cells are eliminated by your respiratory system, your excretory system, and your skin.
Can one body system work without another?
You Can’t Have One without the Other: How Body Systems are Connected. The human body contains trillions of cells, 78 different organs and more than 60,000 miles of blood vessels if you stretched them end-to-end. Incredibly, all of these cells, vessels and organs work together to keep you alive.
