FEATURES OF THE HUMAN BODY

The human body is composed of millions of cells which work together to maintain life The cells unite to form
tissues (the muscle, the bone, etc); the tissues combine to form organs (the heart, the skull, etc), and different
organs are organized into systems (the circulatory system, the skeletal system, etc)
The human body consists of the following parts: the head, the neck, the trunk, upper and lower limbs The head
which is ovoid in shape has a face in front The eyes protected by the eyelids and eyelashes are situated on both
sides of the nose The forehead lies above the eyes and the cheeks lie below them The mouth is bounded by
upper and lower lips The lowest part of the face is called the chin The head is joined to the trunk by the neck
The trunk is the largest part of the body It consists of two main cavities: The thorax (or the chest) and the
abdomen They are separated by a dome-shaped muscle known as the diaphragm The thorax lies above the
diaphragm and the abdomen lies below it
The upper limbs are composed of three segments: the arm, the forearm and the hand with four fingers and one
thumb The lower limbs are also divided into three parts: the thigh, the leg and the foot with toes The joints of the
upper limbs are: the shoulder joint, the elbow and the wrist The joints of the lower limbs are: the hip joint, the knee
and the ankle
The armpit (or axilla) is the hollow under the upper part of the arm and below the shoulder joint The groin is the
hollow at the junction of the inner part of each thigh with the trunk
