organs

Body's working parts

Organs are parts of a living body that perform specific functions—the heart pumps blood, the lungs exchange gases, the liver filters toxins.

By extension, an organ is any instrument serving a particular purpose: a propaganda organ, the official organ of the Communist Party.

A pipe organ or electric organ is a keyboard instrument that produces sound through pipes or electronic circuits.

To organize is to arrange parts into a functioning whole, like organs in a body.
