which is the most active organ in our body?

Answers:
brain
constant activity, gathering information, giving out commands . to every part of our body . . .quoting from wikipedia,
The human brain is believed to be the source of the conscious, cognitive mind. The mind is the set of cognitive processes related to perception, interpretation, imagination, and memories, of which a person may or may not be aware. Beyond cognitive functions, the brain regulates autonomic processes related to essential body functions such as respiration and heartbeat.Extended neocortical capacity allows humans some control over emotional behavior, but neural pathways between emotive centers of the brain stem and cerebral motor control areas are shorter than those connecting complex cognitive areas in the neocortex with incoming sensory information from the brain stem. Powerful emotional pathways can modulate spontaneous emotive expression regardless of attempts at cerebral self-control. Emotive stability in humans is associated with planning, experience, and an environment that is both stable and stimulating.%26gt;%26gt; no other organ is so damn complex, so so damn busy %26 yet so little understood !

the heart

Please clarify the use of the word Active.The brain or Heart would have to be up there in the top 3.

---

Brain, even active during sleep.

---

,i think it is the brain,

---

the heart
it begins to work even b4 we're born and will only stop once we die

---

The brain. However, if a brain dies and your heart still function you are still theoretically alive in medical terms.

This question is nonsense unless you indicate what you mean by active. Most organs function continuously at varying levels throughout our lives, in particular:-
Brain
Heart
Lungs
Guts
Kidneys
LiverIf you mean by the amount of energy used relative to mass then the brain is the most active, followed by the liver and the heart.The level of activity (however defined) varies enormously depending on what we are doing at the time:-
During a marathon race the heart, lungs and leg muscles would be very active whilst the guts would virtually stop as the blood is channelled to the actively-respiring organs.
After a heavy meal the guts and liver would be more active while the heart, lungs and limb muscles would be just ticking over.

Except for the Brain I would say the skin its the largest organ.

---

brain

---

i think the most active organ of ur body is Ur HEart.. Alwayz ticking .tick tick . tick. tick.. tick. even when u sleep it ticks.

---

its actually the brain. its not the heart, because in during every heartbeat, the heart gets about 0.5 seconds rest, so if u totalled the amount of work and rest of the heart , they would be proportionate. so the heart takes rest whereas the brain does not, it only slows down its work during sleep, but never takes rest.

Brain. You're giving me a headache with this question. My poor brain not only has to be a battery, but a processor as well.Second to that, my heart. It really can't miss a beat.When I was younger, there was another organ just as active. It competed with my brain. Fortunately it lost. Kinda, sort-of.So I'll call it for the brain. An amazing parallel processor, that is, for humans, still mis-underestimated.

Depends on what does "most active" mean, for you.
Mechanically: Heart starts pumping while we're still in uterus.
Goverment: Brain has to coordinate our body functions, all the time. Has to think for us. But he sleeps occasionally.
Creation: Our skin and mucous surfaces are regenerating all the time. They create new cells over, and over, and over again.

---

our brain is the most active in our bodies.

---

ofcourse heart. It is active for 24x7.

---

Your old fellow. ( the bloke down below).

---

Brain, heart,lungs,liver,skin,and kidney in that order.

---

brain first, heart nextThe brain requires a significant proportion of the oxygen we breath to survive. Proof of how active it is.

---

mine arn't always there but i would have to say brains tasty brraaaaiinnss.

---

the skin..it replaces itself and is always functioning just like other organs.

---

our heart and our liver
