Organs You Can Live Without

The video discusses five organs that humans can live without: the spleen, reproductive structures (ovaries and testes), lungs, tonsils, and the colon. It explains the functions of each organ, the consequences of their removal, and how the body adapts. The spleen filters blood and fights infections, while reproductive organs are involved in hormone production. A person can live with one lung, though with reduced capacity. Tonsils are part of the immune system, and the colon is involved in waste processing. The video also covers surgical procedures like splenectomy, pneumonectomy, and colectomy.
