Heather asked:


I have a medical terminology paper due soon and thats the only thing I cannot find the answers too. Thanks.
My mistake I meant to rather then too. I would hope people would actually help me with my question rather then correct my grammar.

    I hope you aren’t in any kind of medical school. “………….find the answers too………”? It’s TO. “Too” refers to “also”.

    Heart lung machine is needed to take over the function of the heart during the period of removal of the recepient heart and stitching in the donor heart. This is in addition to the usual surgical equipments like clamps, scissors etc.
