	Nice quiz. Seems I have a problem with plurals though (didn't get kidneys because I typed kidney; didn't get adrenal glands because I typed adrenal gland). Though I guess it makes sense since those come in two (usually). Still...oops.

	tscheno2:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 16:07 GMT	1 point
	I always thought it was the sacrum, not the sacral vertebrae.

	runner:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 17:09 GMT	1 point
	i agree about the plurals; i missed the adrenal one, too. Also, you should accept colon and large bowel for large intestine and small bowel for small intestine. Good quiz, though!

	yapdog:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 23:25 GMT	2 points
	I've added sacrum, other bowel names and non-plural for kidneys/adrenals. Meant to do it for sacrum but forgot :(. The sacrum is made up of five fused sacral vertebrae, just like the coccyx. Question: should I remove the nerves of the thigh?

	ewalke:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 16:42 GMT	2 points
	Yes, remove the nerves - "major" is a subjective term - maybe replace with the 3 sections of the small intestine.

	brianmcp:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 19:40 GMT	2 points
	I agree adding with sections of the intestines - small and large

	markyb:	Oct 12th, 2009 at 01:45 GMT	2 points
	Nice quiz, I got esophagus but forgot spleen (brain fart) I may recommend adding uterus and ovaries to the abdominal organs section just to be thorough.

	yapdog:	Oct 12th, 2009 at 07:37 GMT	4 points
	Yea, there is that tenuous definition of what comprises the abdomen. According to my source, the uterus, bladder and gonads are in the pelvic cavity. So maybe I'll just change it from abdomen - a very general term, to abdominal cavity :)

	LondonBlue:	Oct 12th, 2009 at 17:40 GMT	3 points
	Good quiz. Just a quick suggestion - accept 'Adrenals' for 'Adrenal Glands'. We all know what they are!

	trolleymaster:	Oct 12th, 2009 at 23:33 GMT	2 points
	It would be helpful to have 'lobes of the cerebrum of the brain' or something similar, sorry to get over technical. Very good quiz

	mbc:	Dec 1st, 2009 at 10:16 GMT	1 point
	I shouldn't have got three pelvis bones for 'hips'. I was a bit annoyed not to get it for 'vena cava superior' and 'vena cava inferior'. Nice quiz though; made me realise how little anatomy I know.

	sixtyseveners:	Dec 2nd, 2009 at 02:37 GMT	2 points
	great quiz, this is original and well designed

	cairo140:	Dec 4th, 2009 at 07:26 GMT	1 point
	well designed quiz, but there are MAJOR plural problems.

	dalton:	Dec 5th, 2009 at 23:32 GMT	2 points
	this quiz was... interesting, though I couldn't think of anything once I saw the questions and gave up the first chance I got. I guess I just don't know my anatomy! :S

	JesusMChrist:	Dec 8th, 2009 at 20:48 GMT	2 points
	Great quiz! if only these things were easier to spell... I would have had a lot more right haha.

	JGS:	Dec 14th, 2009 at 00:00 GMT	2 points
	The kidneys and ureters aren't in the abdominal cavity, they are behind it

	axpplatty:	Dec 14th, 2009 at 02:12 GMT	4 points
	You might need to add just a little more time to this quiz

	Ganashal:	Dec 19th, 2009 at 10:05 GMT	4 points
	I got Pulmonary Arteries given to me by Pulmonary artery, but didn't get Pulmonary veins from pulmonary vein... a little annoying.

	lucyinthesky9:	Jan 10th, 2010 at 02:35 GMT	2 points
	i agree with axpplatty. i hadn't even read all the categories when my time was up, i was on "great vessels" pondering if i was looking for specific names of large vessels (subclavian) or if it was in general. i would have so loved to continue with the game, it was really fun.

	yapdog:	Jan 11th, 2010 at 11:24 GMT	2 points
	Thanks for all the comments and feedback. I've added another 2 minutes. Will that suffice? And "pulmonary vein" has been added. The reason the answer was originally different from pulmonary artery is that there are four separate veins that join to the left atrium, while a single pulmonary artery comes off the right ventricle which splits into left and right pulmonary arteries. I would much appreciate if someone could come up with a succint title for great vessels to indicate its the aorta, vena cavae etc. :)

	The pancreas is also mostly 'behind' the cavity. This is called 'retroperitoneal'. These organs do not lie within the 'open' space of the abdominal cavity, but rather on its back wall. I think its fair to say they are a part of the abdominal cavity....apologies for the anatomy lecture... Feel free to specify which answers have plural problems =D

	indecisivetoast:	Jul 5th, 2010 at 05:21 GMT	2 points
	There is no reason why you need sections of small and sections of big intestines, I think you should replace one and make the other one body systems.

	BunnySMG:	Mar 5th, 2011 at 00:38 GMT	2 points
	Well I'm an idiot. I got sigmoid colon but missed stomach.

	sproutcm:	Mar 14th, 2011 at 03:50 GMT	2 points
	@All I made this an editor pick, since this is an old, well-played quiz but I wanted to see for sure if people had problems/wanted more alternatives, etc.

	gracie:	Mar 16th, 2011 at 03:29 GMT	2 points
	could we get a "be more specific" prompt when you enter vena cava? i feel like that would be helpful for some people (e.g. me).

	yapdog:	Apr 10th, 2011 at 10:57 GMT	2 points
	Hi all! Its been a while but I appreciate the comments. Large intestines are gone and replaced with muscles and nerves. Do comment on which questions are difficult to understand :)

	tsacca:	Apr 17th, 2011 at 19:40 GMT	2 points
	forgot the limbic lobe of the cerebrum (recognized as the 5th lobe). other than that, its very good and challenging.

	rolarolarola:	Apr 22nd, 2011 at 20:09 GMT	2 points
	I dont think the appendix technically counts as an organ. Also the esophagus answer is kind of wishy washy since a very small portion is in the cavity and based on the prompt it's misleading. Also the sciatic nerve answer isn't correct. It branches off into other nerves I believe.

	slamb:	Apr 25th, 2011 at 14:56 GMT	2 points
	Are you afraid of the sexual organs?

	Dymefire:	Apr 28th, 2011 at 01:31 GMT	2 points
	Next quiz to master! This one will be harder, though...

	yapdog:	Apr 28th, 2011 at 10:40 GMT	2 points
	Thanks for the comments. The organs are defined by the source material I used. I agree that appendix and esophagus are pretty bad answers so I will probably remove them. The lobes of the brain are the anatomical lobes, and again I am following the textbook. The sciatic nerve does supply the prompted regions, albeit as the peroneal nerves, tibial nerves, cutaneous branches...etc @slamb The sexual organs lie within the so-called 'pelvic cavity'.

	you need to watch some of your spelling. Otherwise, great job

	LoveFangs91:	May 29th, 2011 at 17:00 GMT	2 points
	Pretty good quiz overall, i'm a vet student and can say that most of this transposes over to the more general animal world. Main difference i saw was 'caudal' vertebrae after sacral though, not coccygeal. Good job :)

	The hypothalamus is really part of the brain. The gland is the Pituitary gland.
