Okay, you can probably look them up on the Internet, but if you don't know, you don't know.

The questions below are all related to body parts or places on the body.

I'll list the names and you try to guess where they are located.  I've listed the names and the location or parts in a table, all you have to do is match them up.  Again, the answers will follow in a later post.

E   NASION
F   RHINARIUM
G   GINGLYMUS
H   ACNESTIS

Man, you did a lot better on these than I did.  My wife knew few of them, but I was WAY out in left field.

Yes, I guess I should have put the instructions at the top and not the bottom...

But even in your comical answers, you did get some of them correct.

Hope you enjoyed testing your brain on a Saturday.
