Talk:Organ

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Where do glands such as thyroid or sex glands go? Also, subparts of organs, e.g. the pituary gland or hypothalamus within the brain are distinct regions of cells within a mulitcelluar organism that perform a distinct function, hence by the above definition they would be organs, yet normally they are not seen as independent organs but rather as parts of organs.

Sea Organ, Wave Organ and Tidal Organ all appear to be sea-based organs. Perhaps the list needs altering to group these together, or a separate "Sea Organ" list creating? Any comments? MattKitty (talk) 04:13, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
