The answer is: functional units.

Explanation:

  • Many organs in the body are composed of smaller structures known as functional units. These units are responsible for carrying out the primary processes and functions of the organ. For example, in the kidneys, the nephron is the functional unit that filters blood and forms urine. In the liver, the lobule is the functional unit that processes nutrients and detoxifies substances. Similarly, in the lungs, the alveoli are the functional units where gas exchange occurs. Each of these units is specialized to perform the essential tasks of the organ they belong to.
