Are our organs wet on the outside?

631 views

So I guess there are two parts to this question
1) Is there a gap between the inner lining of our torso muscles and our organs
2) If there is, is there some kind of fluid that our organs float in

I do not know much about anatomy

All of your organs attach to something, they aren’t free floating. For example, your bowels are connected to your abdominal wall through an organ called the mesentery. Your muscles are connected directly to the bones. The heart is held in place by an organ called the pericardium that is attached to the diaphragm. The diaphragm is connected to bones. There are things called ‘connective tissues’ and their job is to hold things in place. So, no, they aren’t held in by fluid, they are held in by web like tissues that are very strong but flexible.

The organs themselves are ‘wet’, more like slimy.
