sacs
Body's fluid pockets
Sacs is the plural of sac, a pouch-like structure in an animal or plant that typically contains fluid or air.
In anatomy, various sacs serve specific functions: the amniotic sac surrounds a developing fetus, air sacs in birds aid respiration, and the yolk sac nourishes an embryo.
The surgeon drained fluid from the sacs around the patient's lungs.
The word is often confused with sack, which refers to a bag.
