Abstract
A full-function artificial organ fitting body comprises a cortex layer and an organ body tissue area. The organ body tissue area comprises a growth area, a differentiation area, a docking area, a branch arterial system, a branch nervous system and a branch venous system. The branch arterial system, the branch nervous system and the branch venous system are distributed in the differentiation area and form a main body three-dimensional skeleton structure with the outer growth area and the middle docking area.
