The notion of entrails can be used to refer to a viscera.
The etymology of entrails takes us to the Latin word interaea , which can be translated as “intestines” . This root is closely linked to the first meaning of the term presented by the Royal Spanish Academy ( RAE ) in its dictionary.
The RAE , in this way, indicates that each organ found inside the body of a person or an animal is called the entrail. The entrails, therefore, are housed in the most important cavities of the organism .
Synonym of viscera
In this first meaning mentioned by the RAE , entraña is synonymous with viscera (a word from the Latin viscĕra ). In fact, the academy presents exactly the same definition in both cases.
The entrails or viscera are internal organs that are contained in the pelvis , abdomen or thorax . At the embryological level, they have their origin in the endotherm or the mesoderm.
It is possible to differentiate between solid entrails and hollow entrails . In the first case, the viscera have parenchyma (a functional tissue) and stroma (the tissue that provides support), while the hollow ones contain a series of layers .
