	Organ (anatomy) Summary
		An example of an organ system in a higher plant is a flower, which (depending on the species) may be composed of stamens (which are composed of anthers and a filament), pistils (containing stigma, style, and ovary), petals, bracts, and receptacle.
		Animal organs inside the thorax or abdomen are often referred to as internal organs (this term is not used for organs inside the head or other parts of the body).
		The vegetative organs are essential for maintaining the life of a plant (they do the vegetative, vital functions, like photosynthesis), while the reproductive are essential in the reproduction.

	Organ - definition from Biology-Online.org
		(Science: biology) A natural part or structure in an animal or a plant, capable of performing some special action (termed its function), which is essential to the life or well-being of the whole; as, the heart, lungs, etc, are organs of animals; the root, stem, foliage, etc, are organs of plants.
		In animals the organs are generally made up of several tissues, one of which usually predominates, and determines the principal function of the organ.
		A medium of communication between one person or body and another; as, the secretary of state is the organ of communication between the government and a foreign power; a newspaper is the organ of its editor, or of a party, sect, etc.

	Organ (anatomy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Common animal (including human) organs include the heart, lungs, brain, eye, stomach, spleen, bones, pancreas, kidneys, liver, intestines, skin, uterus, and bladder.
		The internal organs collectively are often called viscera, the plural of the rarely-used viscus.
		Work is underway to allow some organs to be transplanted from other animals to humans (xenotransplantation).

	Department of Cancer Biology - M. D. Anderson Cancer Center
		Endothelial cells in the vasculature of different organs express different cell-surface receptors and growth factors that influence the phenotype of metastases that develop there.
		The growth at different sites within one organ involved interactions between the metastatic cells and the organ microenvironment, in terms of specific binding to endothelial cells and response to local growth factors.
		The survival and growth of all cells in the body are dependent on the adequate supply of oxygen and, hence, on the vasculature.

	ASPET - Public Affairs -
		Integrative whole organ biology is the study of responses in organs and organisms, including intact animals.
		Because of the great advances in cellular and molecular biology the past two decades, research in whole organ biology has declined to the point where academic infrastructure in this area has eroded and there remain few faculty and institutions that can provide the appropriate scientific training in this important area of research.
		Until the lack of support for training and research in whole organ systems and integrative biology is addressed, the training of a new generation of integrative scientists and the advancement clinical research will continue to regress.

	C&EN: COVERSTORY - SYSTEMS BIOLOGY
		Despite different approaches to systems biology, people generally agree that its aim is the understanding of the function of a biological system–tissue, organ, or organism–as a whole.
		The assays mimic the biology of human disease by incorporating multiple cell types and multiple pathways that are turned on in combination, according to Berg.
		Another application of systems biology is in the evaluation of so-called combination products, in which drugs are administered together to achieve a synergistic effect, according to Pieter Muntendam, president and chief operating officer of BG Medicine, Waltham, Mass.

	Organ Transplantation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The transplanted organ is destroyed when the recipient's body mounts an immune response to foreign antigens displayed on the organ.
		The process of transplantation generates several danger signals that derive from tissue damage during the surgery and ischemic cell death.
		Ischemia is observed because the organ is deprived of oxygen, which causes harmful oxygen radicals to be formed.
