What organs and tissues have been succesfully transplanted since 1950?
heart, lung, kidney, skin
What organs and tissues have been successfully transplanted since 1950 Which two or these are now most commonly transplanted?
Lots of organs have been transplanted . Heart eye liver kidney and the testicles
What organs and tissues have been successfully transplanted since 1950?
Liver, heart, pancreas, lungs, and faces if you count skin.
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.
Would tissues or organs have more kinds of specialized cells?
since an organ is made of multiple tissues, the organ will have all the specialized cells of multiple tissues. As a result, the organ will have more.

5 organs that can be successfully transplanted?
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.

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.
How are cells tissues organs and muscular systems related?
Cells are the smallest unit of life. Large groups of cells with the same purpose are called tissue, groups of tissue with the same purpose form organs, organs with similar purposes form systems and systems form organisms.
Cells are to tissue as organs are to what organ system cells genes or organelles?
A cell is the smallest object that can perform life's functions. Tissues are made up of two or more cells working towards a single function. An organ is made up of two or more tissues working together to perform another function.
Is there a transplant for crones?
There is no transplant for Crohn's disease. (The large intestine is never transplanted since you can live without it. The small intestine can be transplanted, but it does not cure Crohn's disease).
