Muscle cell combined with other muscle cell to make muscle tissue. Bone cell combine with other bone cell to make bone tissue. An Organ is a group of tissues that work together to do a certain job for the body. Some of the human body’s organs include the stomach, lungs, heart, kidneys, brainand liver. Some of a plant’s organs include roots, stems, fruit and leaves. When several different organs join to meet the organism’s needs, they are working together in an organ system.
