Organisation
Organisation (pronunciation: /ˌɔːɡənaɪˈzeɪʃən/), also spelled as Organization in American English, is a term used in various fields, including medicine, to denote the act of arranging or structuring elements in a systematic way. The term is derived from the Greek word "organon," which means tool or instrument.
In the medical context, organisation refers to the process by which cells, tissues, and organs are systematically arranged to form a coherent and functional whole, such as an organ system or an entire organism. This process is crucial for the maintenance of homeostasis and the overall health of an individual.
