Guessed on philtrum, doubted myself on bronchiole, almost didn't click vertebrae because misspelled as vertibrae. I hope the future humans evolve a Shatner's bassoon in their body. What is it for? It's for helping you breathe :D

Great quiz overall, nommed

Whoops, thanks for the spelling correction.

Shatner’s bassoon is explained here by British TV presenter Noel Edmonds on current affairs programme Brass Eye.

Shatner's Bassoon is a component of the human brain which is responsible for an individual's perception of time.

The philtrum is known colloquially as the 'Soup Strainer', the skin between the bottom of your nose to the top of your lip; some are caved in a little. Bronchiole are the little branches that separate from the Esophagus which lead into respective lungs :)

I don't think either of these are accurate.

The definition of philtrum sounds right, but "soup-strainer" is a humorous name for a moustache (for hopefully obvious reasons!).

Bronchioles branch off from the bronchi, which branch off from the trachea, also known as the wind pipe. The esophagus is a separate tube below the trachea which leads to the stomach. It's part of the digestive, not respiratory, system.

It's the only one I got wrong! I saw ursine and thought "nope, that's bears", then saw canine and thought "nope, that's dogs".

Humans typically have four canine teeth - two upper and two lower.

Shatner's bassoon is a real body part, but is a booby trap on this quiz.

My doctor told me mine's shot - I thought I had a year to answer this quiz, but it turns out it's only 4 minutes.

I need to lay off the cake.

I knew I'd heard the phrase 'Shatner's Bassoon' before, though had to google it. Joss Ackland's Spunky Backpack and all that! :)

Sepsis can also be found in the human body but it’s not a body part.

Both are used. The "Canine tooth" wikipedia page contains in its introduction the following:

"The four canines in humans are the two upper maxillary canines and the two lower mandibular canines."

I missed canine because I think of those teeth as cuspids.
