Best Answer

Heart, kidneys, lungs, liver, pancreas, corneas, and small intestine are all commonly transplanted. Almost everything can be transplanted, it's whether the transplant is "successful" that's the problem. Brains are never successfully transplanted. Faces are only just successful. Limbs can be but usually are not, since they are not essential for life. It is whether the organ is essential for life that dictates whether it is commonly transplanted or not.

5 organs that can be transplanted?

kidney, liver, heart, eyes, lungs, pancreas, intestine, and thymus


The two most commonlly transplanted organs or tissues?

== == == == At least 21 different organs -- such as hearts, livers, and kidneys -- been transplanted. I believe in 1954, the first kidney transplant was performed successfully. As for the two most common, that I think would be the kidney again and the cornea in the eye. === ===


What organs would you need a transplant in the human body?

Baboon and pig hearts have been successfully transplanted into humans. naturally the animal-rights types do not approve.


Which organs can be transplanted?

Organs that can be transplanted include the heart, the liver, the kidneys, and the lungs- also the cornea of the eye. Up until recently, lung transplantation on it's own was very difficult, and was only succesful if done in conjunction with a heart transplant at the same time. However, in recent years there has been increasing success in transplanting lungs on their own. In the early 1980s, some research was done into pancreas transplantation, but this proved unsuccesful and remains a problem that has yet to be overcome. The one organ that will NEVER be able to be transplanted is the brain- it'll forever be a complete impossibility, and is purely confined to science fiction.

Which organs of the body can't be transplanted?

Just to clarify your question, if the organ cannot be transplanted there is no "recipient", since nobody receives the organ. The brain is not transplantable in humans. It has been performed in labs on animals, with mixed outcomes. However in humans it is unclear whether there are any medical conditions which would actually benefit from a 'brain transplant', let alone other ethical questions of performing such a procedure. The large intestine is not commonly transplanted because it is not necessary to sustain life (however it is medically possible). Likewise, the stomach, gall-bladder and appendix are not necessary for survival.


Is it possible to transplant any organ?

Hearts, liver, kidneys, lungs, small intestine, pancreas, corneas, heart valves. Some other things have been transplanted (both successfully and unsuccessfully), but typically only "life saving" organs are routinely transplanted.
