(79 organs have been identified in the ‘human body‘*
(although i’ve also read ’78’)
(will we keep discovering ‘new’ organs?)
(will we DEVELOP new organs over time?)
(will we GET RID OF old organs over time?

*’organs’ are groups of ’tissues’ with similar ‘functions’*
.
(plant and animal life relies on many organs that coexist in organ systems)
Organs are composed of main tissue, parenchyma, and sporadic tissues, stroma.
The main tissue is unique for the specific organ, such as the myocardium, the main tissue of the heart, while sporadic tissues include the nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues.
The main tissues that make up an organ tend to have common embryologic origins, such as arising from the same germ layer.
Functionally related organs often cooperate to form whole organ systems.
Organs exist in most multicellular organisms.
In single-celled organisms such as bacteria, the functional analogue of an organ is known as an organelle.
In plants, there are three main organs.
A hollow organ is an internal organ that forms a hollow tube, or pouch such as the stomach, intestine, or bladder.
In the study of anatomy, the term viscus refers to an internal organ

(‘viscera’ is the ‘plural form’)
