List of organs of the

human body

This article contains a list of organs of the human

body. A general consensus is widely believed to be
79 organs(this number goes up if you count each
bone and muscle as an organ on their own, which
is becoming more common pratice to do[1][2]);
however, there is no universal standard definition
of what constitutes an organ, and some tissue
groups' status as one is debated.[3] Since there is
no single standard definition of what an organ is,
the number of organs varies depending on how one
defines an organ. For example, this list contains
much more than 78 different organs.
