Yes, because when you need a transplant your sick. You can only get a transplant if you need it.
No I just found out you can't. If you were sick and you got a new organ that wasn't used to your body, that would be double the trouble. why? Because The bacteria from you being sick would affect your new organ. also it would be doubled bad because your other body parts (Around the new organ) would think that the new organ was trying to talk over you body. so they would attack the organ. but most people take medicine for that but they have to take it for the rest of there lives.

∙ 13y agoNo, because you would need a certain size of organ and not everybody has the same size organs.
More importantly the donor organs have to be 'tissue typed' to ensure that they are a close match to the recipient, otherwise they will be attacked and rejected by the body.

Why is it harder for a doctor to transplant an organ system than an organ?
they would have more trouble transplanting an organ system because an organ system is composed of more things than just one organ and blood vessels that go to it.

What happens to the organs after someone has an organ transplant?
If you mean the recipient's original organ, on the consent form for the transplant operation there is a tick-box saying "I allow my original organ to be used for research purposes". Ticking this allows the original organ to go off to the lab for research and analysis. Unless there is any reason to keep it for further use after this has been done, it will be incinerated. Most people seem to tick this box. If the recipient does not want their original organ to be researched on, it just goes to be incinerated.
What is Xenon transplant?
If you mean a "xenotransplant", it is a transplant of animal organs to a human. These types of transplant are incredibly rare, since xenotransplantation just does not work long term - animal organs do not work in humans. (Sometimes xenotransplantation is used to bridge a gap for a very ill patient, until a human organ becomes available).
Is B positive a match with A positive for a kidney transplant?
No. Negative blood types must receive negative blood. AB- can receive AB-, A-, B-, or O- blood.Special blood types are AB+ (universal recipient) which can receive any blood type but only give to AB+, and O- (universal donor) which can give to any blood type but must receive only O- blood.
What is a double transplant?
I think it's when the patient needs more than one organ transplanting (within the same operation); lots of patients have a joint heart/lung transplant at the same time, since it's easier than just transplanting the heart.
Can babies have organ transplants?
Usually no, if theyre giving then usually their organs are too small OR they arent completely developed. If they are receiving usually the organ they are receiving is too big and wont fit in the cavity the baby's original organ belongs. Also, even after the transplant the body may reject the organ, just as your body rejects a splinter. So it could die if the body rejects the organ.

What is Dual innervation in terms of autonomic nervous system?
DUAL INNERVATION: One organ can receive impulses from both sympathetic and parasympathetic motor neurons (dual innervation); one division increases activity of organ, other division decreases activity of organ. While some organs are innervated by just one division, most vital organs receive dual innervation which means they receive instructions from both the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions.
What type of kidney can blood group O positive receive?
People with O+ blood can receive either O+ or 0- blood, but an organ match requires more than just the right blood type.
Are all parts of the human body an organ?
Not necessarily. Your biceps are not an organ, just muscle. Your arm isn't an organ, just a limb.
