Digestive System, Review Exercises, number 1 is incorrect. You named major organs, not accessory organs. Number 12 you did list the structures, but did not describe them. Urinary System, Review Exercises, number 3, you only listed one function of the kidney. number 9 you did not explain how they all related to one another in detail. Aside from these things, all looks good!
