You are missing the answer to the critical thinking question. For the digestive System review exercises, you only partially answered number 1 and for number 2, you listed major organs not accessory organs. Number 5 is incorrect. You should know what peristalsis is by now. You named the structures for number 12, but do not describe them. For the urinary system review exercises, you only answered half of number 1, 9 and 37. You did not answer the last question at all.
