internal organs
Body's hidden machinery
Internal organs are the structures inside the body that perform essential functions—heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, stomach, intestines.
The phrase often appears in medical contexts or descriptions of injury: The crash caused damage to his internal organs.
Informally, someone might reference internal organs when discussing health, diet, or that gut feeling of dread.
