How does heart transplant surgery function? - Roni Shanoada

Dig into the science of how heart transplants happen, how donors are matched and find out how this complex surgery saves lives.--Your heart beats more than 100,000 times a day. In just a minute, it pumps over five liters of blood throughout your body. But unlike skin and bones, the heart has a limited ability to repair itself. So if this organ is severely damaged, there’s often only one medical solution: replacing it. Roni Shanoada explores how this complex and intricate procedure works.Lesson by Roni Shanoada, directed by Alexia Roider, Zedem Media.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-does-heart-transplant-surgery-work-roni-shanoadaDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-does-heart-transplant-surgery-work-roni-shanoada#digdeeperAnimator's website: https://www.zedemanimations.com----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
