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 11.40cm, making it an absolute average unit

It says 11.40 cm for the gall bladder, which wouldn't be too far off from the average that you mentioned.

A little bit above average but doesn't seem too much to be abnormal, I would say

My bad, I didn’t click the image to view it in full screen, meaning the 11.40 was cut short to just 40.

In that case, I’m not sure at all why this post is on r/absoluteunits

Unless OP is a child, in which case that changes everything
