Basic anatomy "baffles" Britons
Many people in the UK are unable to identify the location of their major organs, a study suggests.
A team at King's College London found public understanding of basic anatomy has not improved since a similar survey was conducted 40 years ago.
Less than 50% of the more than 700 people surveyed could correctly place the heart, BMC Family Practice says.
Under one-third could place the lungs in their correct location, but more than 85% got the intestines right.
Fewer than 30% of the general population were able to do locate the kidneys.
