The Complexity of Human Organs ( the liver)
Your organs are composed of the four tissue types; epithelial,
connective, muscle, and nervous tissues. Organs are wondrous
things, each one with a different function vital to the
homeostasis of your body. While it is easy for us to view a
particular organ as a single item, it is in fact comprised of many
different types of cells and structures, each one unique and yet
each one working together to perform the functions of the
organ.
In this Assignment, you will research an individual organ and
its complexity. Your APA-formatted essay should:
Provide a general description of your assigned organ in the
introduction. In the general description, you will include the
following: a brief description of the primary functions of this
organ, its general shape, and the location of this organ in the
human body.
Describe in detail the importance of this organ to the function
of the body as a whole. What are the functions of this organ and
how is it critical for survival?
Identify and describe which of the four tissue types (epithelial,
connective, muscle, and/or nervous tissues) are present in the
organ.
Describe any organ-specific cell types that are present and if
these cell types have any special structures (e.g., presence of

2. microvilli and/or abundance of particular organelle such as
mitochondria).
Discuss in detail how these different cell-types work together to
provide the overall function of the organ.
Include a discussion of why each organ requires the different
tissue types as well as unique cell types to function. Why can
the organs not be comprised of just one cell type? What is the
advantage of having so many different types of cells?
