Quiz time.

There was a story on the BBC website last week about people not knowning the location of basic body organs so i've made a shiny wee quiz thingy.

Rules:

1) No cheating
2) Write your answers as numbers and letters (A - 4, B - 2 etc). This stops others copying.

Go.

A-1
B-8
C-6
D-2
E-5
F-4
G-3
H-7

I read that article and got them all correct... but I'm not sure about the gland ones on these - I've taken a (hopefully educated) guess on them.

[Sunny So Cal]

Oh. Yuds will get 100% on this quiz, easy.

A - 1
B - 8 (I have either a really strange way of remembering this -- or I'm so completely wrong, it's funny)
C- 6
D - 2
E - 7
F - 4
G - 3
H - 5 (I may have E and H confused here - but I think this one is larger so I'm going with this one).

[foot-loose]

The best thing about this is that i've lost the answers...

[Sunny So Cal]

Wait. I'm tempted to change mine. That thingy on the kidney is worrying me!

[foot-loose]

What were the rules before? First answer = final answer an all that.

[Sunny So Cal]

But that thingy doesn't look right now. I thought it was supposed to be behind it and it's just sat there, mocking me...

Bugger!

[MK Chris]

I want someone to get A wrong so I can laugh at them.

[English Bob]

A - 1
B - 8
C - 6
D - 2
E - 7
F - 4
G - 3
H - 5


Does the winner get a Jaffa Cake?

[foot-loose]

No. Last time I promised something in these quizzes, I had grief for not coming up with the goods. I'm not sending you a jaffa cake.

You can go buy one and i'll tell you which organ its being digested in though. (that reminds me, I forgot "stomach" damn)

[Munki Bhoy]

A - 1
B - 7
C - 6
D - 2
E - 8
F - 4
G - 3
H - 5

I've pretty much guessed the glands. I must have missed Biology that week. Mind you, I'm not a doctor so really, does it matter if I don't know where they are?! If I can see them, you're pretty much * anyway.

[Bonanzoid]

Who wants to show me what goes where?

That's what she said.

[Lactating Man Nips]

If that's a bloke the brain's in the wrong place.

[Bonanzoid]

Haha. Also, weirdest name ever.

[catherine]

A-1
B-8
C-6
D-2
E-7
F-4
G-3
H-5

[Lactating Man Nips]

Are these choices missing?

9) Parsnip
10)Two Plum Tomatoes

I give up.

This quiz is too easy.

The original article (in simple, one sentence paragraphs for the hard of thinking):

Many people in the UK are unable to identify the location of their major organs, a study suggests.

A team at King's College London found public understanding of basic anatomy has not improved since a similar survey was conducted 40 years ago.

Less than 50% of the more than 700 people surveyed could correctly place the heart, BMC Family Practice says.

Under one-third could place the lungs in their correct location, but more than 85% got the intestines right.

There are concerns that a poor grasp of anatomy could potentially compromise patient care.

The researchers asked more than 700 people to look at outlines of both a male and female body and identify which of several shaded areas was a particular organ.

Those asked included apparently healthy members of the public and then people undergoing treatment for a problem that affected specific organs.

Even those for whom the organ was particularly relevant often performed poorly - more than half of those with renal problems did not correctly identify the kidneys.

Fewer than 30% of the general population were able to do so.

But liver patients did better, with 75.3% identifying the organ compared with 46% of the general population.

The researchers said they had aimed to update a similar piece of research carried out in 1970, in which just over half of all the questions were correctly answered.

Is it just me or does that pancreas in the BBC article look a bit dodgy? Ha. And I do love the floating kidneys in the neck. That's brilliant.
