Were do they get the organs to be transplanted?

Kidney's are usually transplanted from a family member who is a match as you only need one. Other organs such as lungs and heart are transplanted from a recently deceased person who had opted to donate their organs at the time of their death, they are then removed from the donor and taken to the receipient who is in most need of the particular organ who is most likely to be a match. (blood type etc. is taken into consideration)

Yes, individuals can choose which organs and tissues they would like to donate by indicating their preferences on an organ donor card or in a legal document such as an advance directive or living will. It is important to communicate your wishes with your family and healthcare providers to ensure your preferences are honored.


Why is FEV1 low in asthmatics?

In asthmatics, the airways become narrowed due to inflammation and constriction of the smooth muscles around the airways. This leads to difficulty in exhaling air from the lungs, resulting in a lower FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in 1 second) value. Additionally, increased mucus production in the airways can further contribute to decreased airflow and lower FEV1 measurements in asthmatics.


What organs cannot be donated?

You can donate not only kidney's, but also parts of the liver and skin can be donated. Also the lung, pancreas, bone marrow and intestine can be donated while alive.
