👉 In medicine, a "novicous" or "necrotic" organ is one that has been removed from its original site and reabsorbed by the body. This means that the organ is no longer functioning or essential for the body to function properly, but it still contains cells and tissues that can be harvested for research purposes or used in other medical treatments. Novicous organs are often considered a form of autotoxicity due to their destruction of normal tissue cells and tissues.
