So I'm a little confused by the bright patches scattered throughout the galaxy. I'm wondering if maybe they are smaller, dwarf-like galaxies within the larger galaxy?

Hi katiebeth94 and welcome to the Zoo
This is an image from the Illustris dataset. These are simulated images of galaxies. And the blue smudges are star forming areas in these galaxies.
More info in these two blog posts.
