For the critical thinking question, you only answered the first half. Question 1 of the digestive system review question is missing. The question you have labeled as number one is missing the locations of the major organs. The question you have labeled as number 2 is incorrect. The answer to number 5 makes no sense. If you do not know what peristalsis is by now, I have failed. Number 12, you named, but did not describe the structures. From the urinary system review questions, you are missing number 3. Question number 1 is only partially answered. Number 9 and 37 are incomplete answers. You are welcome to make these corrections and resubmit this assignment to improve you grade for it. Please post me a new comment to let me know that you have made these corrections if you choose to do so .
