Most of us are not in the medical field

Looking at the first one I thought....yeah that looks like normal guts?

The second one looks dark and squiggly, maybe he's hurt? Like his intestines have spots? Idk

The squiggly bit on the mid-left side in pic 1 is the appendix. Theirs is a hair above average at 10cm, but in adults the average is 9cm so not really abnormal at all

In pic 2, the large grey shape with a white line measuring it is the gall bladder. The gall bladder is usually 7-10 cm long. This patient’s is 40cm, making it an absolute unit

That gallbladder is about 4 times bigger than average. Serious problems going on.

The first picture points out a very inflamed and enlarged appendix. The second picture illustrates a large and inflamed gallbladder. The measurements are there because the organs are larger than normal.
