Abstract: 
A micro-physiological system is another term for an organ-on-a-chip. Due to the idea's widespread use in drug discovery, precision medicine, and drug screening, interest in it has increased recently. The primary message of this article is to illustrate how artificial drug proof can closely imitate the human body in every regard. Important work for a biomimetic system of physiological organs based on a microfluidic chip using cell biology, engineering, and biomaterials technology. In addition, the use and effectiveness of the gut-on-a-chip, liver-on-a-chip, lung-on-a-chip, and heart-on-a-chip are examined. We have discussed the current status of this project, OOC prospects for the future, and opportunities for microfluidic devices and organs on a chip in this section.
