Is an orange called an orange because the inside of an orange is orange or is an orage called an orange because the outside of an orange is orange??

the name of the fruit orange is older than the name of the color orange. orange was called "yellow-red" back then. Then they changed the name to orange because oranges were orange.

can foods cause our organs to fail?

Yes certain foods are not good for are organs if you eat to much of those certain food it can result in organ failure.

lots of weird questions

Thats what this place is for. Weird questions... some very questionable ones.

What happens when you have a heart attack? I know somewhat, your arteries get clogged and then your heart can't beat normally right?

During a heart attack, your arteries get clogged which can cause a lack of blood flow that causes the tissue in the heart muscle to die which can cause your heartbeat to slow down, and this can lead to death. Hope this helps!

if there are many tissue cells, can you count them all?

No because: 1: Everyone has a different amount. 2: The amount constantly changes as cells die and are created again. 3: There are so many that it would take forever to count them.

what happens if the tissues dont have cells anymore?

if tissues are made of cells if tissues don't have cells they simply just wont be tissues

how many orgns are in the human body

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.

So, if the organ is made of tissues. Human cells are tissues too?

Actually, this is incorrect. If you go back and read the article, you will find that human cells are the smallest "unit", so to speak, of the organization of the human body. Tissues are made up of many cells. So human cells are not tissues; rather, tissues are groups of specialized human cells

An organ is made up of multiple types of tissues. These tissues make up an organ’s structure, and also work together.
An organ system is a group of organs that work together to carry out complex tasks in the body.
