British scientists made a sensational discovery that among the 78 organs there are at least 7 without which a person can function.
This was reported by URA-Inform with reference to Rp.rv.
Long-term studies and observations of patients have shown that the body can adapt to such extreme conditions, compensating for missing organs through the work of other systems and with the help of modern medical technologies.
Appendix
This small appendage of the large intestine remains a mystery even for doctors. The main version of why it exists is that it is a “treat” for beneficial bacteria, which helps the immune system. However, in case of inflammation, the appendix is forgiven forever, and the body tolerates it without problems.
Gallbladder
Located under the liver, it serves as a reservoir for bile, which is necessary for the digestion of fats. However, if stones form in it or inflammation occurs, doctors often recommend removing the bladder. After this, you need to avoid fatty foods, but this has almost no effect on the quality of life.
Kidneys
One of the most important “cleaning stations” of our body. But if one kidney is damaged or needs to be removed, the other takes over the job. People with one kidney usually feel fine, but should be careful with their diet and have their health checked periodically.
Lung
A vital organ for breathing. If a serious illness or injury requires the removal of one lung, a person can live with the other, although activity will be limited due to reduced oxygen consumption.
Spleen
Responsible for filtering the blood and destroying old red blood cells. After this organ is removed, its function is taken over by the lymph nodes and liver. For most people, this goes unnoticed.
Tonsils
Are an “obstacle” to viruses and bacteria. However, with frequent inflammation, doctors recommend tonsillectomy, removal of the tonsils. A person can live normally without them, although in some cases the absence of tonsils can slightly increase the risk of respiratory infections.
Stomach
Perhaps the most shocking. In cases of cancer or severe ulcers, patients may have their stomach removed, connecting the esophagus to the intestines. After this, a person must carefully monitor their diet, but with the right support for the body, you can live a full life.
