i. Organs like the eyes, heart, lungs, pancreas, liver, bone, kidney and skin play significant roles in various physiological (metabolic) activities and maintaining a healthy human life. A person will not be able to lead a normal life if these valuable organs are damaged or absent.
ii. These organs can also be donated to save the life of individuals in need.
iii. During the life of an individual, certain organs like kidney, skin, etc. can be donated to people who have lost the function of these organs due to aging, accidents, infections, disorders, etc.
