Question

why is it an advantage to have a division of labor (specialisation) between organs in the body?

Answer 1

$\leadsto\boxed{\sf\orange{Answer}}$

➥The specialisation and concentration of the workers on their single subtasks often leads to greater skill and greater productivity on their particular subtasks than would be achieved by the same number of workers each carrying out the original broad task.

Answer 2

Answer:

Because specialization is more efficient.

Your eyes, for example, are specialized at providing visual input.

They do other things on the side (like non-verbal communication and such), but thay are specialized on vision, and they do a great job on it.

If they also had to, say, digest food, or produce a dozen different kinds of hormones, or be able to be used for reproduction… they would need a lot of new structures for that… which would make them worse at vision. Much worse, in fact.

So, in the end, a bunch of specialized organs, each doing one or a couple of functions, performs muhc, much better than the same amount of general-purpose organs or a huge general-purpose body.

This is not only true of organs and body functions. In general, any balaned team of specialists in different areas/roles will outperform a bunch of jacks-of-all-trades in every way.
