List of Organs of the Human Body List of organs of the human body This article contains a list ofor gans of the human body. It is widely believed that there are 79 organs; however, there is no universally standard definition of what constitutes an organ, and some tissue groups' status as one is debated.[1] Since there is no single standard definition of what an organ is, the number of organs varies depending on how one defines an organ. For example, this list contains much more than 79 different organs.

  • Lung Transplantation with the OCS (Organ Care System)
    Lung Transplantation with the OCSTM (Organ Care System) Lung System Bringing Breathing Lung Preservation to Transplant Patients A Guide for You and Your Family DRAFT ABOUT THIS BOOKLET This booklet was created for patients like you who have been diagnosed with end-stage lung failure and are candidates for a lung transplant. It contains information that will help you and your family learn about options available to you for a transplant. This booklet includes information on your lungs, how they function, and respiratory failure. In addition, you will learn about a new way to preserve lungs before transplantation, called breathing lung preservation. Your doctor is the best person to explain your treatment options and their risks and to help you decide which option is right for you. The booklet explains: • Breathing lung preservation with the OCS™ Lung System • How the OCS™ Lung System works • Who is eligible for the OCS™ Lung System • Lung transplant complications • How the lungs function • What is respiratory failure and the treatment options • What to expect during your treatment • Summary of clinical data for the OCS™ Lung System • Contact Information Please read this booklet carefully and share it with your family and caregivers. For your convenience, a glossary is provided in the front of this booklet. Terms in the text in bold italics are explained in the glossary. If you have questions about the OCS™ Lung System that are not answered in this booklet, please ask your physician. This booklet is intended for general information only.

To maximize resources, it is imperative that procured organs are in Introduction good condition. Surgical damage at organ recovery can happen and organs are sometimes discarded as a result.

Pinna • It is made up of fibro elastic cartilage covered by skin and connected to the surrounding parts by ligaments and muscles. • Various landmarks on the pinna are helix, antihelix, lobule, tragus, concha, scaphoid fossa and triangular fossa • Pinna has two surfaces i.e. medial or cranial surface and a lateral surface . • Cymba concha lies between crus helix and crus antihelix. It is an important landmark for mastoid antrum.

Glazier, J.D., M.P.H.* In November 2017, twenty-one-year-old Miriam Holman, was waiting for a lung transplant.1 Miriam was suffering from a rare form of pulmonary hypertension for which there is no medical therapy, and which is rapidly fatal without lung transplantation. Miriam was on an artificial lung machine in the ICU at Columbia Medical Center in New York where she was listed for organ transplantation.2 Organ allocation policies are, under federal law, designed to balance equity and utility principles based on medical criteria to rank order patients waiting for suitable organs to be available that are a biological match.3 Allocation policy therefore, incorporates factors such as (1) how critically ill the patient waiting is; (2) how long the patient has been waiting; and (3) for some organs allocation policies, the relative magnitude of the * Ms. Glazier is President and CEO of New England Donor Services, the two OPOs serving Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont, a member of the OPTN Board of Directors, previously chaired the OPTN Ethics Committee and has twice been appointed to the U.S. Secretary of HHS, Advisory Committee on Organ Transplantation. 1 Complaint at 18, Holman v.
