	please accept more alternates. ex: uterus for womb, alveolus for air sac, prostate for prostate gland, albumen for albumin, tumor for tumour, esophagus for oesophagus, skull for skull containing brain, bronchioli for bronchioles, etc.

	you have GOT to fix what answers you accept. i put skull, wrist, neck, pericardium, endocardium, uterus, prostate, spinal cord, and esophagus, and missed all of them. i ended up getting tooth and tonsils by putting the 'correct' singluar/plural, but you really need to add the alternative. you also need to check the spelling of your answers, like 'urethro', 'menicus', and 'mensturation'. this could be a great quiz if you looked over it a few times and checked your information.

	menstruation is spelled wrong

	Pleuro does not mean lung. It means pleura, which is the membrane surrounding the lungs. Also, as pointed out before, you need to accept multiple answers. I tried neck and cervix for cervico, and marrow and spinal cord for myelo, but never would I think to put a slash in between both words to get the correct answer.
