Whatever research you've performed on this isn't thorough enough.........Click on the following link: ......and click on "see answer" and you will find it is the abdominal cavity. I'll even draw you a picture: This is a big b*gger and packed into it are the stomach, liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, small intestine, kidneys, large intestine, and adrenal glands. It was a favourite target to be sliced open by the executioner on traitors when hanging, drawing and quartering (the "drawing" part): Often the victim's entrails were pulled out and burned in front of him !

Thats the posh name for a nosebleed 16. Kidneys All correct for 5pts. 16) immediately above the kidneys. For 2) Mendel was an Augustinian friar, later an abbot: The father of genetics leading to the modern-day discovery of DNA.
Through his work on pea plants, he discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance, deducing that genes come in pairs and are inherited as distinct units, one from each parent. Mendel tracked the segregation of parental genes and their appearance in the offspring as dominant or recessive traits.

Long sighted 11 Well, a severe one (migraine) 1pt. Used to get them a lot when at work - since I've retired can count them on fingers of one hand. Funny that ! 18 Correct, 1.5pt. Can affect balance, lead to vertigo. Margo and I suffer with our ears: she has tinnitus and I am recovering from a perforated eardrum incurred last July from cannon fire at a battle re-enactment. 19 Correct, 1pt, short-sightedness being myopia.
