Organ Transplantation

Organs that can be transplanted are the heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas, intestine and thymus. Organ transplantation is the moving of an organ in one body to another or from a donor site to a new location on the individuals own body, to switch the recipient’s damaged or absent body.
