this is a very grey question !

most of our organs are made up of muscle, apart from epithelial layers (skin )

not thats any use for you ?

Which organ? there are four tissue types...
1) Connective tissue supports other tissues and binds them together. This includes bone, blood, and lymph tissues in addition to the tissues that give support and structure to the skin and internal organs.
2) Epithelial tissue provides a covering. The skin and the linings of the various passages inside the body are made of epithelial tissue.
3) Muscle tissue includes three types of tissue:
- Striated muscles, such as those that that move the skeleton (also called voluntary muscle)
- Smooth muscles, such as the muscles that surround the stomach (also called involuntary muscle)
- Cardiac muscle, which makes up most of the heart wall (also involuntary muscle)
4) Nerve tissue is made up of nerve cells (neurons) and is used to carry messages to and from various parts of the body. The brain is made of nerve tissue.

Internal organs are made up of at least two different tissues that are perform in concert to work on a common purpose. Each organ contains different tissues. Your questions should refer to a specific organ(s) for further clarification. Smooth muscle tissue is the most common for internal organs.

Biological tissue is a collection of interconnected cells that perform a similar function within an organism.

The study of tissue is known as histology, or, in connection with disease, histopathology.

The classical tools for studying the tissues are the wax block, the tissue stain, and the optical microscope, though developments in electron microscopy, immunofluorescence, and frozen sections have all added to the sum of knowledge in the last couple of decades.With these tools, the classical appearances of the tissues can be examined in health and disease, enabling considerable refinement of clinical diagnosis and prognosis. There are four basic types of tissue in the body of all animals, including the human body and lower multicellular organisms such as insects. These compose all the organs, structures and other contents.

Epithelium - Tissues composed of layers of cells that cover organ surfaces such as surface of the skin and inner lining of digestive tract: the tissues that serve for protection, secretion, and absorption.
Connective tissue - As the name suggests, connective tissue holds everything together. Connective tissue is characterized by the separation of the cells by an inorganic material, which is called extracellular matrix. Bone and blood are connective tissues.
Muscle tissue - Muscle cells contain contractile filaments that move past each other and change the size of the cell. Muscle tissue also is separated into three distinct categories: visceral or smooth muscle, which is found in the inner linings of organs; skeletal muscle, which is found attached to bone in order for mobility to take place; and cardiac muscle which is found in the heart.
Nervous tissue - Cells forming the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nervous system.

[edit] Plant tissues
Examples of tissue in other multicellular organisms are vascular tissue in plants, such as xylem and phloem. Plant tissues are categorized broadly into three tissue systems: the epidermis, the ground tissue, and the vascular tissue. Together they are often referred to as biomass.

Epidermis - Cells forming the outer surface of the leaves and of the young plant body.
Vascular tissue - The primary components of vascular tissue are the xylem and phloem. These transport fluid and nutrients internally.
Ground tissue - Ground tissue is less differentiated than other tissues. Ground tissue manufactures nutrients by photosynthesis and stores reserve nutrients.

In biology, an organ (Latin: organum, "instrument, tool") is a group of tissues that perform a specific function or group of functions. Usually there is a main tissue and sporadic tissues. The main tissue is the one that is unique for the specific organ. For example, main tissue in the heart is the myocardium, while sporadic are the nervous, blood, connective etc.
