Question
Chapter 34, Problem 1AC
Summary Introduction
To apply:
Heart-lung transplants are performed in some cases in which both organs have been damaged by cigarette smoking. Given a scarcity of organ donors, determine the criteria that would be used by an individual in selecting a recipient for such a transplant.
Introduction:
Smoking is inhalation and exhalation of burning cigarettes fumes containing tobacco. The smoke of cigarette tends to have a negative impact on the organs that are in direct contact of smoke as well as on the organs that are not in direct contact (as individuals inhale smoke present in the surrounding exhaled by smokers cigarette).

They live about 120 days before being replaced. b. They lack a nucleus and other organelles when they are mature. c. They are replaced when the hormone EPO stimulates stem cells in bone marrow. d. They are replaced as part of a negative feedback loop in which kidney cells monitor blood oxygen levels e. All the above statements are true except b, because all cells require a nucleus in order to function properly.arrow_forwardWhen oxygen-rich blood from the lungs is pumped to the rest of the body, so the cells can use the oxygen - oxygen - poor blood is then turned to the heart is ???

- As a patient is dying, at what point does it become ethical to disconnect life-support equipment and remove organs for donation?arrow_forwardOne of the current major areas of research in heart transplants is the use of pig hearts for human transplants. Since pig and human hearts are virtually identical anatomically, researchers feel that it can make hearts available to everyone that needs one. Should the organs of pigs (or any other animals) be used to preserve the lives of humans? Why or why not?arrow_forwardShould one person have a second transplant when the first one fails, or should a different person be given a first chance at a new organ?arrow_forward
