Transplanted organs may be rejected in the type of immune response called?
Rejection of transplanted organs occurs in the type of immune response called "graft rejection". This occurs when the recipient's immune system recognizes the transplanted organ as foreign and attacks it, leading to potential organ failure. Medications are often used to suppress this immune response and prevent rejection.
How do doctors stop organ rejection?
Doctors typically use immunosuppressant medications to stop organ rejection. These medications work by suppressing the immune system's response to the transplanted organ, preventing it from being attacked and rejected. Patients must take these medications long-term to maintain the function of the transplanted organ.
A common occurrence in transplant patients in which the patient's immune system attacks the donated organ or tissue?
This is known as organ rejection, where the recipient's immune system recognizes the transplanted organ as foreign and mounts an immune response against it. To prevent rejection, transplant patients are typically prescribed immunosuppressive medications to dampen their immune response and protect the transplanted organ. Regular monitoring and adjustment of these medications are essential to prevent rejection.
How the embryo escapes the mother's immune system?
The embryo is fed the mother's blood, so the immune system doesn't attack it. There may be another reason, too. However, sometimes it does, which results in a miscarriage. Note that not all miscarriages are from that, though.

Why do you have to take special drugs to prevent a transplant being rejected?
Those special drugs are immune-suppressants. Their purpose is to suppress, or lower, your immune system. This is necessary for the prevention of transplant rejection because without these drugs, your own immune system would attack the transplanted organ. The immune system attacks the transplanted organ because it is foreign to the body, which the immune system translates to it being an enormous virus to destroy. You see, the immune system's only purpose is to eradicate potentially harmful things in your body. But, unlike your computer's security system, which asks before it destroys potentially harmful programs, you can't tell your immune system that that particular foreign object (the organ, or game for the computer security metaphor) is good and shouldn't be attacked.
When the body's defenses turn against itself it's called?

What are the Advantages and disadvantages of using animals for organ tranplants?
The advantage is availability. The disadvantage is mostly tissues rejection which will render the transplanted organ useless and attacked by the immune system. The use of immune supressors may produce worst consequences. There are also ethical and moral issues involved in th slaughter for organ harvesting.
Why is it when the immune system reject an transplant?
Immune system starts rejecting the organ of the recipient because the Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) which is present on the surface of the transplanted organ of the donor does not match with the recipient.
