Different organs have characteristic tissue areas that reflect their functions:
Liver: Contains hepatocytes, which are the main functional cells, organized into lobules. Kidney: Consists of nephrons, the functional units responsible for filtering blood and producing urine. Heart: Composed of cardiac muscle tissue, which is responsible for the contractile function of the heart. Brain: Contains neurons and glial cells, organized into distinct areas such as the cortex and white matter.
