The human body is a complex system that works thanks to the interaction of various organs and systems. Recent research conducted in China has contributed interesting results about the vital importance of some organs. It turns out that some of them can be removed and the person can continue to live.

Scientists identified the gallbladder, appendix, lungs, stomach and kidneys as non-vital organs. Although these organs perform important functions, their absence does not pose a life-threatening situation.

Removal of the appendix and gallbladder are procedures frequently performed in medical practice. After such operations, patients can continue their lives, but they must follow certain nutritional recommendations.

Interestingly, even if a person loses a lung, they can still breathe. This was confirmed by researchers who noted that the remaining lung was able to compensate for the loss and continue to supply oxygen to the body.

In case of oncology, the stomach, the organ responsible for digestion, can be removed. Despite this, people who undergo such an operation can continue to live and eat well. There are many methods of performing the functions of the stomach, which allows nutrients to pass through the body and be absorbed.

Kidneys are paired organs that play an important role in removing waste products and maintaining water-salt balance in the body. However, even if one kidney is lost, the remaining kidney can perform the functions of the entire organ. Research by scientists from the People’s Republic of China showed that a person can adapt to some organ loss and continue to live. But such operations have consequences and require special attention to health and doctors’ recommendations. Source
