The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the oldest human transplant. We need to identify which type of transplant is considered the oldest among humans. 2. **Types of Transplants**: Transplants can be classified into different categories: - **Autograft**: Tissue transplanted from one site to another on the same individual. - **Isograft**: Tissue transplanted between genetically identical individuals (e.g., identical twins). - **Allograft**: Tissue transplanted between genetically different individuals of the same species. - **Xenograft**: Tissue transplanted from one species to another (e.g., pig to human). 3. **Identifying the Oldest Human Transplant**: The transcript mentions that the oldest interspecific transplant (between species) was a liver transplant from a pig to a human. However, since the question specifies human transplants, we focus on isografts. 4. **Corneal Isograft**: The transcript indicates that the oldest successful human transplant is the corneal isograft. The cornea is unique because it does not have a blood supply, making it easier to transplant without rejection. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the information provided, the correct answer to the question is that the oldest human transplant is the corneal isograft. **Final Answer**: The oldest human transplant is the corneal isograft. ---
