Why do organs look wet?

409 viewsBiologyOther

Why is it that when you see photos of surgery the stuff inside your body looks really wet?
Is it just from blood? Is there a fluid in our bodies that makes organs wet-looking? If there is a fluid, does it serve a purpose other than keeping organs wet?

You also need the fluid as lube so your organs don’t chaff against each other with every movement. Without the fluid we would be in agony.
