What are the two types of organ donors?
The two types of organ donors are living donors, who donate organs while they are still alive (such as a kidney), and deceased donors, who donate organs after they have passed away (such as heart or liver).
What is a kidney or heart donor?
A donor is somebody who gives one or more of their organs to somebody who has died. As we have two kidneys it is possible to donate one of them while you are still alive. But only a dead person can donate their heart. The best sources of hearts are people who have died in accidents like car crashes as the heart will probably be in very good condition.

Currently, it is not possible for people to transfer their hearts to other individuals. Heart transplants are performed using donor hearts from individuals who have a compatible blood type and tissue match with the recipient. The process involves surgical removal of the recipient's damaged heart and replacing it with a healthy donor heart.

The brain does not send the electricity to the heart. The heart is myogenic which means it can contract and relax without any stimulus from the brain.
