The list of living donor organs is shorter because not all organs can be donated while the donor is alive, due to the complexity of the organ and the impact on the donor's health. The most commonly donated organs from living donors are the kidney and liver, as they are organs that a person can live without or regenerate. Other organs, such as the heart or lungs, are not commonly donated from living donors due to the high risk involved.

How did the liver get its name?

The functions performed by the liver were discovered relatively late in the study of Human Physiology. Originally, the organ was thought to be relatively unnecessary (much like the appendix), and it's actual functions were often incorrectly attributed to other organs. When physiologists figured out all of the extremely important functions that this organ performed, they realized that it was one of the most important organs for sustaining human life -- that is, an organ that makes you live...or, a "liver".
