Explanation: Splanchology is the scientific study of the viscera and its organs. It studies the characteristics and structure of the visceral system of an animal. It is the study of viscera, which are the organs situated in the thoracic, abdominal and pelvic cavities of the body, and are associated with pleura and peritoneum. There are four major systems identified in the viscera according to their functions, and they are the digestive system, the respiratory system, the urinary system, and the reproductive system.
