ANS: F
The liver may be separated into two sections and used for two recipients. The left lobe or a left lateral segmental graft may be transplanted into an infant or child; the right side, which is larger, can be transplanted into an adult. The adult donor gives the left lobe (the smaller lobe) if the recipient is an infant or a child. The liver grows as the child grows over time.
