T he upper extremity is interesting from a functionalanatomy perspective because of the interplay amongthe various joints and segments necessary for smooth, effi-cient movement. Movements of the hand are made moreeffective through proper hand positioning by the elbow,shoulder joint, and shoulder girdle. he upper extremity is interesting from a functionalanatomy perspective because of the interplay amongthe various joints and segments necessary for smooth, effi-cient movement.

Artificial Organs. There is a critical shortage of donor organs of all types. Artificial organs that perform the function of natural organs can help alleviate this problem as well as sustain patients with organ failure as they await donor organs.In some cases, artificial organs can eliminate the need for transplantation altogether.here is a critical shortage of donor organs of all types. Artificial organs that perform the function of natural organs can help alleviate this problem as well as sustain patients with organ failure as they await donor organs.
An implanted pump in the (groin) or (scrotum) can be manipulated by hand to fill these artificial cylinders, normally sized to be direct replacements for the natural corpora cavernosa, from an implanted reservoir in order to achieve an erection.t is also possible to construct and install an artificial organ to give its possessor abilities which are not naturally occurring. Research is proceeding, particularly in areas of vision, memory, and information processing, however this idea is still in its infancy.
