What Is The Difference Between A Male And A Female Heart?
Is it possible for a female to recieve a male's heart in a heart transplant?
I wasn't sure if male and female's hearts are different. Do you also have to be the same blood type?

Absolutely, it happens all the time, as long as you are a good cross match, gender doesn't matter.
