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
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
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
Which of the following lymph organs is NOT matched with its function?
To accurately identify which lymph organ is not matched with its function, I would need the specific options provided. Generally, lymph organs like the spleen, thymus, and lymph nodes have distinct roles in immune response and filtration. If you can provide the options you have in mind, I can help determine the incorrect match.
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 allows tissues and organs to be transplanted easily?
The successful transplantation of tissues and organs is facilitated by advancements in medical technology, such as improved surgical techniques and better preservation methods. Additionally, the compatibility of donor and recipient tissue is enhanced through the use of immunosuppressants to reduce the risk of rejection. Ongoing research in regenerative medicine and stem cell therapy also contributes to the development of bioengineered tissues that can be more easily matched to recipients. These factors collectively enable more effective and safer transplant procedures.

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.
