Detailed explanation-1: -The brain is the only organ in the human body that cannot be transplanted. The brain cannot be transplanted because the brain’s nerve tissue does not heal after transplantation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Organs that can be transplanted are the heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas and intestines. The skin, bone tissue (including tendons and cartilage), eye tissue, heart valves and blood vessels are transplantable forms of tissue.
Detailed explanation-3: -Organs suitable for donation Early results of liver transplants from non-heart-beating donors are encouraging, and there is growing evidence that lungs can also be transplanted successfully. Tissue donation (e.g. corneas etc) should also be considered in asystolic cadaveric donors.
