artificial organs, n.pl the devices used to support life because of the failure or limited capacity of the human organ. The most effective is the artificial kidney, which consists of a set of tubes that pass the blood through a dialysate solution where wastes are removed by osmosis and diffusion. See also hemodialysis.
Total artificial hearts (TAH) are a mechanical substitute for your entire heart. They are put into your body after your heart has been removed. How does an artificial heart work? Blood enters an artificial heart from the left or right atrium (blood receiving chamber). It is then pumped into the aorta (artery to your body) or pulmonary artery (artery to your lungs), depending on which side of your heart is being supported. An artificial heart is powered by either compressed air or electricity.
