Organs

Summary Information: Organs

Organs: Organs are structures in the body that are made up of two or more types of tissues and perform a specific function or functions. Organs are interconnected and interact with each other, and a group of organs, structures, fluids and other elements that have a similar function or work directly together make up a body system. Disease or dysfunction of one organ often has repercussions on the function of other organs. Examples of organs include the heart, lungs, skin, eyes, brain, spinal cord, kidneys, ovaries, pancreas and stomach.
