innards
Guts and entrails
Innards are the internal organs of an animal, especially when removed during butchering or cleaning: She scooped out the fish's innards.
The word extends to the internal workings of machines or systems: the innards of a computer, the innards of the bureaucracy.
Innards is informal—a folksy alternative to entrails or guts.
