  • Understanding Organs: Structure, Function, and Tissue Composition
    A collection of two or more tissues that work together to perform a specific function is called an organ.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Tissues: Groups of similar cells that perform a common function.

    * Organ: A structure made up of different tissues that work together for a specific purpose.

    Examples of organs:

    * Heart: Made of muscle tissue (to pump blood), connective tissue (to provide structure), and nervous tissue (to regulate heart rate).

    * Stomach: Composed of muscle tissue (to churn food), epithelial tissue (to line the stomach), and connective tissue (to provide support).

    * Brain: Consists of nervous tissue (for processing information) and connective tissue (to support and protect neurons).
