Organs are matched primarily through blood typing and body typing. The recipent has to have the same bloo type (ABO) as the donor or the recipients body will "reject" the organ - the body's own immune system will attack the organ as a foreign object. Also, you can't really give a 5'2", 115 lb person's kidney to a 6'5" 250 lb recipient. Size matters.
What else can I help you with?
Can you live with somebody else's heart?
Heart transplants have been carried out for 40 years now. If the the donor's heart is carefully matched to the recipient's body, then the recipient can live indefinitely.
How does the DNA in a transplanted organ get matched with the recipient's body?
DNA in a transplanted organ is matched with the recipient's body through human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing. HLA genes code for proteins on the surface of cells that help the immune system recognize whether a cell is "self" or "foreign". A close match between the donor and recipient's HLA genes reduces the risk of organ rejection.
The membrane surface molecules that must be carefully matched between a donor and the recipient to avoid organ transplantation rejection are called?
histocompatability antigens
Why should the blood type of the dunor recipient be compatible?
Because if its not your body will reject it and organs will start to fail
What risks for a recipient in a blood transfusion are there?
The blood given by transfusion must be matched with the recipient's blood type. Incompatible blood types can cause a serious adverse reaction (transfusion reaction). Blood is introduced slowly by gravity flow directly into the veins
Should doctors substitute pig organs for human ones in an emergency?
If it does the job there is no reason not to. unless the recipient has moral problems with it.
Vitality in a sentence?
Vitality is defined as the state of being strong and active. To have energy. As she grew older, It was important for her to maintain her vitality.
Why are tissues more easily transplanted than organs between people with a minimal risk of rejection by the recipient?
Tissues have fewer antigens than organs, making them less likely to trigger an immune response in the recipient. Additionally, tissues are less vascularized compared to organs, reducing the chance of immune system recognition and rejection. Lastly, tissues can often be transplanted in smaller amounts, decreasing the likelihood of immune rejection.
What might be matched to an weapon?

What is the opposite of matched?
The opposite of matched (matched up) would be unpaired. The opposite of matched (alike) would be unlike, different, disparate, or dissimilar.
If a donor recipient dies can the organ be re used?
Usually the donor's transplanted organ is not transplanted again - it puts a lot of stress on the organ. And depending on how long the donor recipient has been on immuno-suppression for, some of the other organs may not be used (it can affect the kidneys a lot).
How do you determine if an order already has transactions matched to it?
Matched transaction displays on the order's Matched Transactions tab
