Is it just the organs, or things like blood and hair too?

All organs have the potential to be used: heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, sections of bowel, skin, eyes, etc. Pieces of them as well. That doesn’t mean any or everything will be used. It’s a very stringent process.

Blood would never be used. There is a very strict process to use blood. Blood that is in a dead body isn’t much use, especially when there are living donors who can give blood.
