Question:

Are blood vessels organs?

Are blood vessels classified as organs? Organs compose of 2 or more tissues and perform a certain function. Blood vessels have 3 different tissues and perform a function (transport blood), yet I do not see them being identified as an organ. Why is this? Are they organs? Or do they hold their own classification?
