  • Understanding Organs: Structure and Composition
    An organ is composed of two or more tissues.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Cells: The basic unit of life.

    * Tissues: Groups of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function.

    * Organs: Structures made up of different tissues that work together to perform a more complex function.

    * Organ Systems: Groups of organs that work together to carry out major bodily functions.

    For example, the stomach is an organ composed of:

    * Epithelial tissue: Lining the stomach and protecting it from digestive juices.

    * Muscle tissue: Responsible for contractions that churn food.

    * Connective tissue: Providing support and structure.

    * Nervous tissue: Regulating stomach function and communicating with the brain.
