how many orgns are in the human body

What happens when you have a heart attack? I know somewhat, your arteries get clogged and then your heart can't beat normally right?

During a heart attack, your arteries get clogged which can cause a lack of blood flow that causes the tissue in the heart muscle to die which can cause your heartbeat to slow down, and this can lead to death. Hope this helps!

if there are many tissue cells, can you count them all?

No because: 1: Everyone has a different amount. 2: The amount constantly changes as cells die and are created again. 3: There are so many that it would take forever to count them.

So, if the organ is made of tissues. Human cells are tissues too?

Actually, this is incorrect. If you go back and read the article, you will find that human cells are the smallest "unit", so to speak, of the organization of the human body. Tissues are made up of many cells. So human cells are not tissues; rather, tissues are groups of specialized human cells
