type or prosthetic attachment is called osseointegration, which might also be
connected to the muscles (myoelectric) and even the brain (neuroelectric). (10) these
connections feature \electric\ in the terms because they rely on the electrical currents
of communication in the body, just as actual body parts do.
4 (11) inside the body, artificial organs replace some or all of the function of a
compromised organ. (12) some replaced organs include the heart, lung, liver, and
kidney. (13) while human - to - human organ transplant is still preferred, sometimes
patients have long waits to receive an organ donation. (14) in these cases, artificial
panents can supplement the real organ until it can be replaced with a transplant. (15)
organs can supplement the real organ until it can be replaced with a transplant. (15)
under other circumstances, an artificial organ can take on a long - term role in helping
a malfunctioning organ perform its job, as in the case of the pancreas for diabetes
patients.
5 (16) even though the future of prosthetics is extremely bright, there are still some
obstacles to overcome. (17) it costs a lot of money to develop, test, and produce these
advanced designs, which means the finished products also carry a hefty price tag for
consumers. (18) as researchers push forward in the field of prosthetics, new
information will be shared, lessons will be learned, and advancements will continue
to be made, which is certainly good news for the future patients of prosthetics.
