    Characteristics of an Organ

    • An organ is defined as a structure made up of two or more different types of tissues working collaboratively to perform specific functions.
    • Each organ's tissues contribute to its overall functionality, allowing for complex processes necessary for life.
    • Examples of organs include the heart (muscle and connective tissues) and the lungs (epithelial, connective, and muscle tissues).
    • This collaboration between varied tissues distinguishes organs from simpler structures composed of a single tissue type.
