	Organ (anatomy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Animal organs inside the thorax or abdomen are often referred to as internal organs (this term is not used for organs inside the head).
		The vegetative organs are essential for maintaining the life of a plant (they do the vegetative, vital functions, like photosynthesis), while the reproductive are essential in the reproduction.
		The same is true for the musculoskeletal system, which involves the relationship between the muscular and skeletal systems.

	THE GEOLOGY OF ORGAN CAVE
		Organ Cave is also the home of three endangered species of bats, the Indiana Bat, the Gray Bat, and the Virginia Big Eared.
		Organ Cave's role in the American Revolutionary War, War of 1812 and the Civil War as a saltpetre mining facility was significant.
		Paleontological: The Organ Cave System is, without a doubt, one of the richest Pleistocene and Recent-Age paleontological treasure troves in West Virginia and the United States.

		Donated organs are a rare and precious commodity, so doctors don't want to proceed unless they are confident that a patient is physically and mentally prepared for the procedure, as well as life after the procedure.
		This is because of the immune system's reaction to the new organ.
		Organ donor cards or organ donor indications on a driver's license are important legal documents, but the consent of family members takes precedence.

	eMedicine - Multisystem Organ Failure of Sepsis : Article Excerpt by: Sat Sharma, MD, FRCPC, FACP, FCCP, DABSM
		Several terms were cloned thereafter, such as multiple organ failure, multiple system organ failure, and multiple organ system failure, to describe this evolving clinical syndrome of otherwise unexplained progressive physiological failure of several interdependent organ systems.
		Sepsis is a clinical syndrome that complicates severe infection and is characterized by systemic inflammation and widespread tissue injury.
		Multiple organ dysfunction is a continuum, with incremental degrees of physiological derangements in individual organs; it is a process rather than an event.

	1999.10.18: (Fact Sheet) Improving the Nation's Organ Transplantation System (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Since the 1970s, when organ transplantation became an established medical procedure, the number of organ transplants performed each year in the United States has grown from 12,618 in 1988 to 20,961 in 1998; and the number of centers performing this surgery has grown from 235 in 1988 to 278 today.
		Organs available for transplantation should not be restricted by arbitrary "local first" allocation policies that no longer have a medical basis.
		NOTA was intended to create a system in which consistent medical criteria would be developed and used by transplant professionals, with oversight by the Secretary of Health and Human Services to help ensure that the national system created by the Act would operate in the public interest.

	Organ Systems of the Body
		An organ system is a group of organs arranged in such a way that together they perform a more complex function than can any one organ alone.
		The 11 major organ systems of the body are (1) integumentary, (2) skeletal, (3) muscular, (4) nervous, (5) endocrine, (6) circulatory, (7) lymphatic, (8) respiratory, (9) digestive, (10) urinary, and (11) reproductive systems.
		The major functions of the lymphatic system are the movement of fluid and its critical role in the defense mechanism of the body against disease.

	Harvard Gazette: HMS examines ethics of Internet organ donation
		The problem, he said, is not the current system of distributing organs, but rather that there aren't enough donated organs to go around.
		If the organ would have been donated anyway - and there's no evidence yet which situation is the case - then people on the waiting list are hurt because the person receiving the privately donated organ presumably would have jumped their space in the line.
		Organs can be donated locally if donors want someone in their home region to benefit, he said, and savvy people can ensure they get put on each regional list to improve their chances of getting an organ.

	Organ Care Systems: TransMedics, Inc.
		This new breakthrough, investigational technology, called an Organ Care System, is designed to maintain organs in a warm, functioning state outside of the body to optimize their health and allow continuous clinical evaluation.
		In addition, the system may enable the utilization of organs that are currently wasted due to the limitation of the existing preservation method, by allowing the transplant surgeon the time to potentially resuscitate the organ ex vivo to build up its energy stores, optimize its function and perform full viability assessment prior to transplantation.
		The Organ Care System is designed to both improve the outcomes of current transplant procedures and to increase the number of organs available for transplantation.

		Although HHS estimates a national system will increase organ donation by 20 percent, critics argue that fewer people will donate organs if they won't necessarily be used by people in their community.
		Some doctors, such as Hodge's, believe the new system will provide organs for many who are too sick to handle the procedure and deprive those who are a little less sick, but who are strong enough to handle the surgery.

	Latest Breaking Health News & Information: Applesforhealth.com
		A government mandated study of the nation's organ procurement system says donor organs should be made available in heavily populated areas to help ensure patients with the greatest medical need get transplants first.
		It presented evidence organ donation waiting times varied widely across the United States and in some areas where organs were more plentiful, patients who were not in dire need of a transplant got one while sicker patients in other states did not.
		The IOM committee acknowledged, however, the size of an organ procurement organization and donation volume play a part in transplant rates, noting patients who were not in critical need of transplants got them depending on their procurement organization affiliation.
