Welcome to Shikshapress. In the human body, there are several organs. An organ is a collection of hundreds of thousands of cells that collectively perform single functions in our body. The cells in these body organs are highly specialised and form for all the necessary actions for some specific time. There are 79 organs that vary according to their sizes, functions or actions.
