Altogether there are seventy-eight main organs within the human body. These organs work in coordination to give rise to several organ systems. Among these 78 organs, five organs are considered vital for survival. These include the heart, brain, kidneys, liver and lungs.
Interstitium would be the 80th organ in the human body. Before the study, it was thought that the connective tissue underneath the skin and lining other organs was a dense layer. The study shows that the new human organ is actually a network of compartments filled with liquid.
Although no one knows where the number originates, the general count is 78 organs, she said. This list includes the vital organs: the tongue, stomach, thyroid, urethra, pancreas, plus many other single or pairs of organs.

Dubbed the interstitium, the new organ is a network of fluid-filled cavities found everywhere in your body. Your body is lined with a network of fluid-filled cavities that—until now—were unknown to science.
You can still have a fairly normal life without one of your lungs, a kidney, your spleen, appendix, gall bladder, adenoids, tonsils, plus some of your lymph nodes, the fibula bones from each leg and six of your ribs.

Your skin is the largest organ of your body. Did you know that your liver is the second largest? That makes it the largest solid internal organ you have, weighing in at 3-3.5 pounds.
It is generally agreed upon that the organ in the church of Notre-Dame-de-Valère at Sion (Switzerland) is the oldest playable organ in the world. Its oldest parts date as far back as 1435 (+/- 1 year), but they only include most of the case and 180 original pipes from the Gothic period.
Thus, the first organ system to develop is the heart, blood and circulatory system, so that nutrients and waste can be transported throughout the growing embryo. The heart continues carrying out this same vital job throughout our lives. When the heart can't do its job, people's lives are at risk.
Recently, the health science community was rocked by the claim of the discovery of a new human organ, a pair of salivary glands in the head and neck. These glands are located at the nasopharyngeal end of the auditory tube in the throat.
Most of us only have one spleen, an organ involved in immune function and blood filtering. But accessory or extra spleens are quite common, appearing in more than one in ten people.
The skin is the body's largest organ.
The brain and nerve cells require a constant supply of oxygen and will die within a few minutes, once you stop breathing. The next to go will be the heart, followed by the liver, then the kidneys and pancreas, which can last for about an hour. Skin, tendons, heart valves and corneas will still be alive after a day.
If enough cells decrease in size, the entire organ atrophies. This is often a normal aging change and can occur in any tissue. It is most common in skeletal muscle, the heart, the brain, and the sex organs (such as the breasts and ovaries).
Although some patients who have a diseased portion of their liver removed are unable to regrow the tissue and end up needing a transplant.
Kidneys. Most people have two kidneys, but you can survive with just one – or even none (with the aid of dialysis). The role of the kidneys is to filter the blood to maintain water and electrolyte balance, as well as the acid-base balance.
The Organs of the Head include: the ear, the eye, the nose and sinuses, the salivary glands, and the oral cavity. The ear can be divided in to three sections: the external ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear.
The researchers are calling this network of fluid-filled spaces an organ—the interstitium.
Scientists have found a previously undiscovered organ deep inside the human head, where the nasal passages meet the back of the throat.
