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.

Human Body Systems SKELETAL SYSTEM
Human Body Systems SKELETAL SYSTEM The framework of the body, consisting of bones and other tissues, which protect and support the body and internal organs. Skeletal System Functions: 1. Protection: protects our vital organs 2. Support: Gives our bodies a shape 3. Movement: works with muscles to allow us to move. 4. Blood: Bone marrow makes blood cells. 5. Storage: Stores nutrients like calcium that makes bones hard. Skeletal System Major Components: 1. Bones- Rigid organs that form the endoskeleton of vertebrate animals 2. Cartilage-Stiff yet flexible tissue that connects different parts of the body. (ears, nose, etc) 3. Ligaments- Loose tissue that connects bone to bone 4. Joints- The place where two or more bones make contact (knees, fingers, elbows) 5. Tendon- Connects muscle to bone. Three major types of Joints: 1.Pivot Joint: Rotating joints that allow rotation around an axis. Example: Neck 2.Ball-and-Socket Joint: Most maneuverable joint that allows forward, backward, and circular movement. Example: Hip 3. Hinge Joint: Opens and closes like a door. Example: Elbow Skeletal System Interesting Facts: 1. Humans and giraffes have the same number of bones in their necks. Giraffes just have longer bones. 2. Humans have over 230 moveable and semi-moveable joints 3. The longest bone in your body is your femur. It is about ¼ of your total height. MUSCULAR SYSTEM Muscular System Functions: 1. Enables body to move 2. Homeostasis: Produces heat that helps body maintain constant temperature. 3. Helps give the body its posture and overall shape. Supports neck and head. Muscular System Major components: 1.

Human Services Organs that make up the digestive tract NATIONAL are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small INSTITUTES OF HEALTH intestine, large intestine—also called the Esophagus colon—rectum, and anus. Inside these hol low organs is a lining called the mucosa. In the mouth, stomach, and small intestine, the mucosa contains tiny glands that pro duce juices to help digest food. The diges Liver tive tract also contains a layer of smooth Stomach muscle that helps break down food and Gallbladder move it along the tract. Duodenum Two “solid” digestive organs, the liver and Pancreas Descending the pancreas, produce digestive juices that Transverse Colon colon reach the intestine through small tubes Ascending colon called ducts.
