dots logo Chapter 3 - Integumentary System

Think critically!
  • The quiz was generated using artificial intelligence which is known to sometimes get even basic arithmetic wrong.
  • In the case of Anatomy, it sometimes incorrectly counts the number of ribs in the human body, fails to select correct anatomical terms, mixes up sex hormones, etc.
  • Occasionally the answer it provides in the marking key isn't even a question option – this is why you might see quiz validation errors.
  • When in doubt, and if you're not 100% sure, refer back to a peer reviewed source like an Anatomy textbook.
