16:04last time around on the rundown, we introduced our new segment. Mhm. And we're going to bring it back for another trial test of Are you smarter than a scientist? >> Okay. The game show where you at home can find out if you are in fact smarter than our resident PhD. And the question this week is name the 10 largest organs in the human body by mass. And I will make uh one small caveat about the answers to this, which is that the organs are discrete. They're discrete. Okay.
16:46All right. Um let's see. Let's start with the liver. I'm pretty sure that's huge. So, we're going to see where is liver on the board? Is it on the board? Yes, it is at number two. Um And that's at 1.5 approximately 1.5 kg. Okay. 1.5 kg. What's bigger than the liver? Um all right. Let's start with some of the easy ones, right? Let's do um lungs. The lungs is on the board at spot number four at 1 kg. Um let's do the large intestine. I won't give you a strike for this. >> Uh-huh. Because technically it's a part of the
17:26digestive tract. Uh-huh. And would not be considered a discrete organ. >> Oh, interesting. >> So for that first one, I'll give you a pass. I'll give you that. All right. Um Well then, wait. Would digestive tract be on here? No. Okay, interesting. That I'll again, that's kind of all categorized together. So let's let's kind of put that to the side. >> put it to the side. So stomach is also not on this? I'm going to give you a strike for that one. Okay. Fine, fine. I'm asking too many questions. All right, let's do brain. Brain is on the board at number three. So we have number two liver, number three brain, number four lungs.
18:07Um Let's do heart. The heart is on the board at number five, approximately 315 g. Um, let's go for Is skin on here? Is skin on the list? Yes. >> Big spot at number one. >> skin is number one. >> I have the top five. Very good. All right. This one's hard. Last last last The last five. One strike. Skin, liver, brain, lungs, heart. Top five. Skin
18:48Um The heart is on there. Kidney. Is kidney on the list? At number six. >> we got to get smaller than kidneys now. Um Let's do pancreas. Is pancreas on the list? At number eight. >> Okay. So we are missing seven, nine, and 10. You are on a roll. Uh, give me These ones are a little tough. You'll you they're mhm Give me the bladder. The bladder? No, not on the list. That is our >> one strike left. >> You have one strike left. We have number
19:29seven, number nine, and number 10. Choose wisely those listening. We only have one strike left. Man, what am I thinking of now? Mhm. Now, again, it's it's discreet. Mhm. Um I'll give you one hint here, which is one of them is uh only present in males. Oh, it's only present in males. Um is it going to be prostate or testes? I'll do prostate. Prostate is on the board at number 10.
20:11So, we are missing number seven and number nine. >> there's there's something that's about that's in between size of kidneys and pancreas, and there's something in between size of pancreas and prostate. Okay. Gallbladder. Is it gallbladder? Unfortunately, that will end your trial on round two of are you smarter than a scientist? We had two missing items. Number seven was the spleen. >> Okay. Should have gotten that one, yeah. And our last one, get your guesses in now for those at home, was the thyroid. >> Thyroid, yeah, I didn't even think of that, you know. So, our list: skin,
20:53liver brain lungs heart kidneys spleen, pancreas, thyroid, prostate. And I will just note that this was for the male body because you could arguably put the uterus on the list a little bit higher than some of these items. So, not a bad round. We were missing some of those answers. We're still going to give you a a nice little five there for our second round of are you smarter than a scientist.

21:35continue on to our third story, which is about brain scans revealing how ketamine can quickly lift severe depression. If you're in the UK, you might be familiar of uh with this as being called ketamine. Mhm. Here in the US, it's called ketamine. Uh this is out of the YCU Advanced Medical Research Center and it was in Molecular Psychiatry. Yeah, this one's a very interesting
