释义 | organ (once / 102 pages) 1n 2n 3n An organ is a part of your body that performs a specific function: like your brain, lungs, or skin. You might not use the word organ often, but you use organs every second — imagine getting through a day without your heart or skin. An organ may also serve a specific function for an institution: a periodical like a newsletter can be an organ of an organization. An organ is also the wind instrument — sometimes called a pipe organ — often played in church. People who want their organs to be used by others after their death are called organ donors.
