Organs are parts of the body having specific tasks. An example is the intestine, in which food is broken down and the nutrients are absorbed in the blood. Another important organ is the liver, which utilizes the components of food. Other organs are the kidneys, the spleen, the heart, and our biggest organ, the skin. They are all made up of different kinds of tissues, such as muscular tissue, fatty or supportive tissue, and blood vessels. The tissue in each organ is specifically designed to perform the tasks assigned to that organ. Thus, the muscular tissue of the heart is different and performs different functions as compared to that in the upper thigh. Each organ interacts with other organs to keep the body healthy.
