Bukorganen

Bukorganen is a term that refers to the internal organs located within the abdominal cavity of a vertebrate animal. This region is typically defined by the diaphragm superiorly and the pelvic brim inferiorly. The organs contained within the bukorganen perform a wide variety of essential physiological functions, including digestion, excretion, reproduction, and metabolism.

Key organs found in the bukorganen include the stomach, intestines (both small and large), liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and the reproductive organs. The arrangement and specific functions of these organs are highly conserved across many vertebrate species, reflecting their shared evolutionary history. Protection for these vital organs is provided by the abdominal wall muscles and, in some cases, by the bony structures of the rib cage and pelvis. Injuries to the bukorganen can have severe consequences due to the critical roles these organs play in maintaining life. Surgical procedures often involve accessing and operating within this anatomical space.
