electric organs
Hammond and Wurlitzer
Electric organs are specialized tissues in certain fish—such as electric eels, torpedo rays, and electric catfish—that generate electrical discharges.
These organs evolved from muscle cells and can produce shocks for stunning prey, self-defense, or navigation.
The term also refers to electronic musical instruments that simulate pipe organ sounds using electrical oscillators rather than pipes.
