What organs and tissues have been successfully transplanted since 1950 Which two or these are now most commonly transplanted?

Organs and tissues successfully transplanted since 1950 include the heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, pancreas, and corneas. Currently, the most commonly transplanted organs are the kidneys and livers due to the high demand for these organs and the success rates of the procedures.


Which substances produced in the body are directly responsible for rejection of a transplanted organ?

T cells and antibodies are two primary substances produced by the body that are responsible for rejection of a transplanted organ. T cells recognize the transplanted organ as foreign and mount an immune response, while antibodies can target the transplanted tissue for destruction. These responses can lead to rejection if not controlled by immunosuppressive medications.


5 organs that can be successfully transplanted?

Heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and pancreas can all be successfully transplanted from one person to another. Transplants of these organs can greatly improve the recipient's quality of life and even save their life in some cases. Organ transplantation is a complex medical procedure that requires careful matching of donor and recipient and lifelong follow-up care.


How can doctors ensure that a transplanted organ works sucessfully?

Doctors can ensure that a transplanted organ works successfully by carefully matching the donor and recipient, prescribing immunosuppressant medications to prevent rejection, closely monitoring the recipient for signs of rejection or infections, and providing long-term follow-up care to maintain the health of the transplanted organ.


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. === ===
