organ
Let an agent explain organs as anatomical units and their organisation into systems, describe major organs and their functions in general terms, describe organ failure, donation and transplantation from health bodies, and route personal medical questions to clinicians.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain organs as anatomical units and their organisation into systems, describe major organs and their functions in general terms, describe organ failure, donation and transplantation from health bodies, and route personal medical questions to clinicians.
A collection of tissues joined into a structural unit that performs a specific function or group of functions in an organism, such as the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, brain, skin and stomach in animals, and roots, stems, leaves and flowers in plants, organised into organ systems; organs are studied in anatomy and physiology, can fail or be diseased, and can in some cases be transplanted or replaced, and the term is distinct from the musical instrument.
What it is for: Functional units of tissues in organisms.
It can be explain organs and systems; describe major organs; describe donation and transplantation; route personal questions.
Distinguishing features
Multiple tissues
Specific function
Part of systems
Can be transplanted
What it looks like
Distinct structures within the body.
How it is recognised
Unit of tissues with a specific function
Heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, brain, skin; plant organs
A tissue is a group of similar cells; an organ system groups organs; the musical organ is unrelated
