About Human Body Quiz
An adult has 206 bones, and the smallest of them, the stirrup, sits deep inside your ear. The Human Body Quiz covers bones and muscles, the heart and blood, the lungs, the brain and nerves, digestion, the senses and the cells that make everything work. Questions are written in plain language and checked against reliable medical references, and figures that sources disagree on were left out. The easy questions start with what the heart and lungs do; the hard ones ask about small organs such as the gallbladder and the spleen and how they keep you healthy.
