      Hi Dan! An organ is a group of tissues that do similar things – this actually makes the largest organ the skin! Probably not what you first think of when you think of organs, but it makes up about 15% of your overall body mass.

      (If we’re just talking about organs inside the body, then the largest one would be the liver. In adults, it’s about the size of a football.)
