It is true that the heart is behind the lungs for a big part. Though it definately is not nearly as high as the lungs (it should be almost half as high as it is here), plus your left lung is smaller (to make room for the heart), so a part of the heart is still seen there. Sorry to say but this picture looks nothing like it looks in reality. (I do like the idea of a map though!)
Large bowel and small bowel should be accepted instead of intestine. The word bowel is used much more frequently amongst the medical/nursing fraternity.
I got 100% (I am a physician, I better have), but that diagram is absolutely horrible. The heart and kidneys, in particular do not even remotely resemble their actual shape and size.
Yes you are right - the lungs are much bigger as is the liver and I'm not a medical professional, but then again this quiz isn't for medical professionals, at least there will be many learning about the organs in the body which is a good springboard to learn more - perhaps more accurately.
Isn't it a picture of a slice, like reading one image from a mri scan? Of course an mri usually slices top of head to sole of feet rather than front to back, which would need a bigger mri. That doesn't give the image of the whole organ shape at all. A map that gave a whole heart or kidney shape etc would not be accurate either because if you just open up the chest (Watching Silent Witness etc) and open it like a book you would not see the heart immediately in its whole shape. Or the kidneys etc. Because they are all fit together like a neatly packed suitcase.
Scientiests are now beginning to consider the liquid-filled spaces in between everything else in our bodies, the interstitium, as an organ themselves. Difficult, however, to portray that in the illustration.
When you have the time Jiao, could you possibly update the SVG to make the small intestine connect with the stomach. I've been studying the human body for quite a while now, and the small intestine is divided into two parts. One is a tube about a quarter the size of the segment displayed on this SVG that connects that segment to the stomach, and it is where the gallbladder and pancreas are attached to. I'm not asking for you to have the small instestines separately, just add that tube that connects the stomach to the small intestine before the top of the large intestine. Also, the title should be changed to major organs, as anything that is made up of different functioning tissues working to accomplish the same purpose is an organ, even our skin.
This quiz has been troubling me for some time now. I made it at a time in which user SVG-maps were still new and before I saw any attempts to make non-geography quizzes using the new feature. I was surprised when this quiz was featured, and when it became quite popular too. I've had a desire to redo the map or at least fix some problems I have with it, but on the other hand I am not confident enough in myself to make an accurate representation of the human body, considering my lack of knowlege in biology. However, as it stands I find the 'map', or diagram, unsatisfactory, and so this quiz has been in an odd sort of limbo for the past four years.I would like to do something about this, but unfortunately I haven't though of the best course of action yet. It's a very odd 'map', and not one that is easy to modify without a complete overhaul.
I can fix the title, or maybe the description, too. Around this time some of the featured quizzes had titles such as 'European Cities on the map', etc. with these sorts of quizzes including a handful of of answers, so I had this in mind when I made (and titled) the quiz. Clearly my train of thought wasn't universal, based on the comments of all the organs I missed, from 2016 to present day. This quiz just feels outdated considering the heights set by Jetpunk quizzes in 2021!
Largr Intestine was a comlete guess. They couldent come up with a better name?
It doesn't say all organs.
Hard to depict skin without obscuring the rest.
Intestines doesn't work either.
Wikipedia spells it as a single word:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallbladder
B) hard to depict skin without obscuring all the organs inside.
I suppose QM will say this counts as "Human Geography" along with everything else vaguely related to humans...
