When (at around 34 mins) Blair examines the (apparently) dead Thing, he claims that it's a lifeform capable to imitate perfectly another lifeforms, absorbing them to be a perfect replicate of the original being. Despite it isn't mentioned in the movie, The Thing is seen not only capable to imitate physical shapes but talk and to reason as a intelligent being to use the remembers of the beings absorbed. It would imply that in the absorption The Thing replicates by physical contact organs and bones as well as knowledge and memories of the assimilated to be a perfect imitation of it. The same concept was used in the later horror movie Phantoms (1998), about a supernatural being capable not only to imitate the shape and memories of the people absorbed, but adopt any shape that the people could to have imagined.
