Aristotle lived in Greece over 2,000 years ago. He was very interested in plants and animals and in how the human body works. The Greeks weren’t the only people interested in how the body worked. Old drawings and texts from China and the Middle East also showed human organs. Some even showed plant organs.
At first, information about organs came from operations and from cutting up dead bodies. Now we can look at X-rays and body scans, too.
In the late 1700s, a French doctor called Xavier Bichat did hundreds of post-mortems. Post-mortems are operations carried out on dead bodies, to find out what killed them. Bichat found that each human organ contains more than one kind of material. He listed 21 different kinds. Today, we call these materials tissues(组织). Bichat wasn’t able to see the detailed structure of these tissues, because he didn’t have a microscope.

Every object has weight. But the center of its weight is not always in the middle of the object. If the top of an object is heavier than its bottom, it will fall over easily. We say that its center of gravity is high. But if the bottom is heavier, it won’t fall easily. Then we say that its center of gravity is low.
Look at Picture One. This empty box must fall over, because its center of gravity (C) is not above the line of its bottom(AB).
Now look at Picture Two. There is some heavy iron in the bottom of this box. It will not fall, because its center of gravity is above its bottom.
