I heard one question on the radio that kept getting repeated---what's the most important organ in the body?

Question

It was the lead-in to a commercial. (Attention grabber).
I say the most important organ is the skin. What do you
say?

Answer 1

I would say the heart because thats what keeps you alive.

Answer 2

This depends on your point of view. You could say the brain but a person can be brain-dead and kept alive. You could say the heart but, again, a person can be kept alive even without an independently functioning heart. Skin is a good answer. From a medical standpoint, it is the heart. With all due respect, the soul is not an organ.

Answer 3

Hmm... Well the skin, heart, and brain I would say are all equally the most important. You still need the other organs though.

Answer 4

i heard that the brain is. i would have thought it was the heart but apparently, you can live without that for a short period of time. (for example, a heart transplant) but i heard that the brain keeps track of every breathe and function in your body. if the brain isnt there, your body wont know when to make patterns such as heart beats.

Answer 5

Your heart cuz it never stops pumping throughout your life. It's the single strongest organ and muscle in your body. If your heart stops, you stop.

Answer 6

The heart. You're not pronounced dead until the heart stops beating.

Answer 7

the heart

Answer 8

the heart

Answer 9

the heart

Answer 10

The one that is very rarely used.
