    Which of these important glands is located in the neck?

    • 2% Lacrimal gland
    • 91% Thyroid gland
    • 0% Mammary gland
    • 7% Pituitary gland

    The endocrine system is a complex network of glands and organs. The thyroid gland and parathyroid glands are located in front of the neck, below the larynx (voice box). The thyroid plays an important role in the body's metabolism. The parathyroid glands play an important role in the regulation of the body's calcium balance.

    What is the name of the holes in the nose?

    • 1% Maxillas
    • 1% Scapulas
    • 0% Fibulas
    • 98% Nostrils

    The nose has two holes called nostrils. The nostrils and the nasal passages are separated by a wall called the septum. Deep inside your nose, close to your skull, your septum is made of very thin pieces of bone. Closer to the tip of your nose, the septum is made of cartilage, which is a flexible material that's firmer than skin or muscle. It's not as hard as bone, and if you push on the tip of your nose, you can feel how wiggly it is.

    What boxer bit off a chunk of his opponent's ear during a fight?

    • 1% Archie Moore
    • 94% Mike Tyson
    • 1% Rocky Marciano
    • 4% Muhammad Ali

    As in the first fight, Holyfield dominated the fight. In a clinch, "Iron Mike" pulled out all his desperation and bit off a piece of Holyfield's ear, who incredulously complained to referee Mills Lane, who checked it and decided to disqualify Mike Tyson to the surprise of the audience, who did not know what was going on.

    Where in the human body is the conjunctiva?

    • 9% Nose
    • 69% Eye
    • 15% Throat
    • 7% Ear

    The conjunctiva is the clear, thin membrane that covers part of the front surface of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelids. It has two segments: Bulbar conjunctiva. This portion of the conjunctiva covers the anterior part of the sclera (the "white" of the eye). The bulbar conjunctiva stops at the junction between the sclera and cornea; it does not cover the cornea. Palpebral conjunctiva. This portion covers the inner surface of both the upper and lower eyelids. (Another term for the palpebral conjunctiva is tarsal conjunctiva.) The bulbar and palpebral conjunctiva are continuous. This feature makes it impossible for a contact lens (or anything else) to get lost behind your eye.

    How many hemispheres does the human brain have?

    • 81% Two
    • 11% Five
    • 7% Six
    • 1% One

    The brain is a soft, gelatinous organ made up of multiple folds. Most of the brain, around 85 percent, is taken up by the cerebrum. It is this structure that gives the brain its distinctive shape of two halves - the right and left hemispheres. The two hemispheres of the brain are connected by a thick band of nerve fibers called the corpus callosum. The brain halves are able to communicate with each other via this "bridge."

    Which of these accessories are informally called shades or sunnies?

    • 9% Visor hats
    • 1% Baseball caps
    • 89% Sunglasses
    • 1% Vietnamese straw hats

    Sunglasses or sun glasses (informally called "shades" or "sunnies") are a form of protective eyewear designed primarily to prevent bright sunlight and high-energy visible light from damaging or discomforting the eyes. They can sometimes also function as a visual aid, as variously termed spectacles or glasses exist, featuring lenses that are colored, polarized, or darkened. In the early 20th century, they were also known as sun cheaters (cheaters then being an American slang term for glasses).

    In Greek mythology, what was Medusa's "hair" made of?

    • 5% Feathers
    • 93% Snakes
    • 1% Daggers
    • 1% Fire

    Medusa is best known for having hair made of snakes and for her ability to turn anyone she looked at to stone, literally to petrify. Multiple works by ancient sources, such as Homer, the eighth-century B.C. poet Hesiod, and the fifth-century B.C. lyric poet Pindar, provide a wide-ranging and diverse picture of the fabled creature. According to Hesiod’s Theogony, she was one of three Gorgon sisters born to Keto and Phorkys, primordial sea gods; Medusa was mortal, while the others, Stheno and Euryale, were immortal.

    How many teeth does a full adult set have?

    • 9% 26
    • 13% 28
    • 5% 30
    • 73% 32

    Most adults have 32 teeth, once all of their teeth have come in. This will most likely happen by the time a person has reached between the ages of 12 and 14. Some children may not have lost the last of their baby teeth by this age, but this is an uncommon occurrence. Children normally only have 20 teeth once their baby teeth have all come through, as their mouths are not yet large enough to accommodate the 32 teeth they will need as they become adults.

    Which part of the mouth is most responsible for detecting taste?

    • 1% Gums
    • 93% Tongue
    • 6% Soft palate
    • 0% Teeth

    Most of the taste buds are on the tongue. But there are also cells that detect taste elsewhere inside the oral cavity: in the back of the throat, epiglottis, the nasal cavity, and even in the upper part of the esophagus. Infants and young children also have sensory cells on their hard palate, in the middle of their tongue, as well as in the mucous membranes of their lips and cheeks.

    Which of these are large, flat teeth at the back of the mouth?

    • 96% Molar
    • 3% Incisor
    • 1% Canine
    • 0% Cortex

    The molars or molar teeth are large, flat teeth at the back of the mouth. They are more developed in mammals. They are used primarily to grind food during chewing. The name molar derives from Latin, molaris dens, meaning "millstone tooth", from mola, millstone, and dens, tooth. Molars show a great deal of diversity in size and shape across the mammal groups. The third molar of humans is sometimes vestigial.

    How much does an adult human brain weight on average?

    • 73% 3 pounds
    • 20% 10 pounds
    • 3% 20 pounds
    • 4% 15 pounds

    The average adult human brain weighs about 3 pounds (1300 to 1400 grams). A newborn human baby's brain weighs approximately 350 to 400 grams or three-quarters of a pound. The average brain is around 15 centimeters long. Neurons are the building blocks of the brain and nervous system. They transmit and carry information, allowing different parts of the brain to communicate. They also allow the brain to communicate with other parts of the body. Researchers currently estimate that there are around 86 billion neurons in the human brain.

    The color of the human eye depends on what pigment?

    • 10% Chlorophyll
    • 12% Cyanophycin
    • 6% Violacein
    • 72% Melanin

    Eye color is determined by some variations in a person's genes. Eye color is directly related to the amount of melanin in the front layers of the iris. People with brown eyes have a large amount of melanin in the iris, while people with blue eyes have much less of this pigment.

    Which of these famous sculptures is missing its nose?

    • 17% Venus de Milo
    • 15% Michelangelo's David
    • 58% Great Sphinx of Giza
    • 10% The Thinker

    The Great Sphinx of Giza is the oldest known monumental sculpture in Egypt and one of the most recognizable statues in the world. The archaeological evidence suggests that it was created by ancient Egyptians of the Old Kingdom during the reign of Khafre (c. 2558–2532 BC). The circumstances surrounding the Sphinx's nose being broken off are uncertain, but close inspection suggests a deliberate act using rods or chisels. Contrary to a popular myth, it was not broken off by cannon fire from Napoleon's troops during his 1798 Egyptian campaign. Its absence is in fact depicted in artwork predating Napoleon and referred to in descriptions by the 15th-century historian al-Maqrīzī.

    What are the biting teeth called?

    • 31% Canines
    • 2% Premolars
    • 7% Molars
    • 60% Incisors

    Eight incisor teeth are located in the mouth's front part, four in the upper jaw, and four in the lower jaw. Incisors are shaped like small chisels. They have sharp edges that help bite into food. Whenever a person sinks their teeth into something, such as an apple, they use their incisor teeth.

    What is the name of the body part which hair grows from?

    • 1% Gland
    • 96% Follicle
    • 3% Cuticle
    • 0% Bud

    The function of a hair follicle is to grow your hair. A hair follicle is a tube-like structure (pore) that surrounds the root and strand of a hair. Humans are born with over 5 million hair follicles in the body and over one million hair follicles on the head. As people age, hair grows out of hair follicles. A hair follicle is one of a few structures in the body that can stop functioning and begin functioning again (degenerate and regenerate). This process helps with hair growth in the body.

    In mammals, which is the largest lobe of the brain?

    • 70% Frontal lobe
    • 16% Temporal lobe
    • 4% Parietal lobe
    • 10% Occipital lobe

    The frontal lobe is the largest of the four major lobes of the brain in mammals and is located at the front of each cerebral hemisphere (in front of the parietal lobe and the temporal lobe). It is parted from the parietal lobe by a groove between tissues called the central sulcus and from the temporal lobe by a deeper groove called the lateral sulcus (Sylvian fissure). The most anterior rounded part of the frontal lobe (though not well-defined) is known as the frontal pole, one of the three poles of the cerebrum.

    Interlacing hair into a woven rope-like structure is known as what?

    • 99% Braiding
    • 1% Fading
    • 0% Perming
    • 0% Layering

    Braids (also referred to as plaits) are a complex hairstyle formed by interlacing three or more strands of hair. Braiding has been used to style and ornament human and animal hair for thousands of years in various cultures around the world. The simplest and most common version is a flat, solid, three-stranded structure. More complex patterns can be constructed from an arbitrary number of strands to create a wider range of structures (such as a fishtail braid, a five-stranded braid, a rope braid, a French braid, and a waterfall braid). The structure is usually long and narrow with each component strand functionally equivalent in zigzagging forward through the overlapping mass of the others. Structurally, hair braiding can be compared with the process of weaving, which usually involves two separate perpendicular groups of strands (warp and weft).

    What garment has a close-fitting collar that covers the neck?

    • 1% T-shirt
    • 2% Henley shirt
    • 3% Crew neck t-shirt
    • 94% Turtleneck

    A polo neck, roll-neck (South Africa), turtleneck (United States, Canada), or skivvy is a garment—usually a sweater—with a close-fitting collar that folds over and covers the neck. It can also refer to the type of neckline, the style of the collar itself, or be used as an adjective ("polo necked"). A simpler variant of the standard polo neck is the mock polo neck (or mock turtleneck), which resembles the polo neck with the soft fold at its top and the way it stands up around the neck, but both ends of the tube forming the collar are sewn to the neckline.

    Which branch of medicine treats the ear, nose, and throat?

    • 7% Oncology
    • 10% Nephrology
    • 0% Radiology
    • 83% Otolaryngology

    Otolaryngology is a medical specialty focused on the ears, nose, and throat. It is also called otolaryngology head and neck surgery because specialists are trained in medicine and surgery. An otolaryngologist is often called an ear, nose, and throat doctor, or an ENT. This medical specialty dates back to the 19th century, when doctors recognized that the head and neck contained a series of interconnected systems.
