Study Notes
Organ Structure
- In a multicellular organism, an organ is a self-contained part that performs a specific function to maintain the overall health and function of the organism.
Tissue Types
- There are two main types of tissues in an organ:
- Epithelial tissue: forms the lining of the organ and helps to regulate what enters and leaves the organ
- Connective tissue: provides support and structure to the organ, binding it together and connecting it to other organs
Organ Types in the Abdominal Cavity
- Solid organs in the abdominal cavity have no internal cavity or hollow space, such as the liver and pancreas.
- Hollow organs in the abdominal cavity have a internal cavity or hollow space, such as the stomach, small intestine, and gallbladder.
