vizcera

Viscera refers to the internal organs of the body, particularly those located within the thorax and abdomen. This term generally encompasses organs such as the heart, lungs, liver, stomach, intestines, kidneys, spleen, and bladder. The viscera are essential for carrying out vital bodily functions, including digestion, respiration, circulation, excretion, and reproduction. Protection for these delicate organs is provided by the skeletal system, such as the rib cage for the thoracic viscera and the pelvic bones for some abdominal viscera. The abdominal cavity, a major location for many viscera, is enclosed by the abdominal muscles. Medical professionals often refer to the viscera collectively when discussing surgical procedures, anatomical studies, or conditions affecting internal organs. The health and proper functioning of the viscera are paramount to overall well-being.
