Answer:

The tissue typing is a blood test that matches the number of antigens on the surface of recipients and donor blood surface. The main aim of matching a tissue of donor kidney with the person who is seeking transplantation is the identification of a Human Leukocyte Antigen. It is a marker that tells the possibility of the organ to accept organs from another person body.

If the tissue type of the donor and the recipient do not match then the body immune system identifies it as foreign tissue and try to kill it or reject it. That is why tissue typing is done to prevent rejection after transplantation.

erma4kov [3.2K]
B. Muscle cell, also known as myocytes, have more abundant mitochondria than the other cells listed. This is primarily due to the fact that sustained muscular contractions require massive amounts of cellular energy, transported throughout the cell within the phosphate bonds of Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP) molecules. Mitochondria are the cells' organelles that produce ATP, giving them the nickname "energy powerhouses of the cell."
