The uvula is like an extension to the soft palate, and is at the tip of it. I believe it is actually part of the soft palate itself.

You don't throw up if you touch your uvula. You merely want to, and trigger your gag reflex.

Physics is difficult for 99% of the world's population because they don't understand it. The other 1% know too much.

What major muscle is the Parotid gland located next to?

Found this question on one of the quizzes and I'm unsure. Aren't there multiple?

As the parotid gland is in or near the jaw region and guessing from the muscle list of the past few years, I would say the sternocleidomastoid is what they're looking for.

You make your own...
But if you want to know where to start, I would suggest getting a binder. You won't be able to take it into competition, but binders are essential. Then you get a textbook and go find some stuff online. The Scioly Wiki is also a good place to start. Don't worry; you'll find your way soon enough.

Agreed; you learn the information best when you organize and summarize it yourself into a set of notes. And personally, I've never used a binder, but I hear they're pretty helpful.

You will probably need to know all cancers of the digestive system as it doesn't specify which ones you need. :|

There's also intestinal, colon, rectal, pancreatic, and anal cancer. There could be more too. I believe cancers can happen in pretty much every organ, so if you can name it study it I guess ;) .
