Fascinating Facts About Human Organs

The liver is the only visceral organ with the ability to regenerate completely, even from as little as 25% of its original mass.

Your heart has its own electrical system, coordinating beats through a network of nodes, which act independently of the brain's commands.

The skin is the body's largest organ, comprising 16% of body weight. It's a complex system involved in protection, regulation, and sensation.

Neurons transmit impulses at varying speeds, from 0.5 to 120 meters per second; this variability is critical for the complexity of brain functions.

The human body's organ systems are interdependent. For instance, bones produce blood cells, supporting both the skeletal and circulatory systems.

The heart can continue beating outside the body if it has a supply of oxygen, thanks to its pacemaker cells.
