Human Body

One of the first things you need to know

when working in English is the parts of the
body. You will need to learn the names of
the internal (inside the skin) and external
body parts. You will also need to learn the
words for the functions of each of these
body parts. Here are the basics to get you
started.
Head
Inside the head is the brain, which is
responsible for thinking. The top of a
person's scalp is covered with hair.
Beneath the hairline at the front of the
face is the forehead. Underneath the
forehead are the eyes for seeing, the
nose for smelling, and the mouth for
eating. On the outside of the mouth are
the lips, and on the inside of the mouth
are the teeth for biting and the tongue
for tasting. Food is swallowed down the
throat. At the sides of the face are the
cheeks and at the sides of the head are
the ears for hearing. At the bottom of a
person's face is the chin. The jaw is
located on the inside of the cheeks and
chin. The neck is what attaches the head
to the upper body.
Upper Body
At the top and front of the upper
body, just below the neck is the
collar bone. On the front side of
the upper body is the chest, which in
women includes the breasts. Babies suck
on the nipples of their mother's breasts.
Beneath the ribcage are the stomach
and the waist. The navel, more
commonly referred to as the belly
button, is located here as well. On the
inside of the upper body are the heart for
pumping blood and the lungs for
breathing. The rear side of the upper body
is called the back, inside which the spine
connects the upper body to the lower
body.
Upper Limbs (arms)
The arms are attached to the
shoulders. Beneath this area is
called the armpit or underarm.
The upper arms have the muscles known
as triceps and biceps. The joint halfway
down the arm is called the elbow.
Between the elbow and the next joint, the
wrist, is the forearm. Below the wrist is
the hand with four fingers and one
thumb. Beside the thumb is the index
finger. Beside the index finger is the
middle finger, followed by the ring finger
and the little finger/ TINNY. At the ends of
the fingers are fingernails.
Lower Body
Below the waist, on left and right,
are the hips. Between the hips are
the reproductive organs, the penis (male)
or the vagina (female). At the back of the
lower body are the buttocks for sitting
on. They are also commonly referred to as
the rear end or the bum (especially with
children). The internal organs in the lower
body include the intestines for digesting
food, the bladder for holding liquid waste,
as well as the liver and the kidneys. This
area also contains the woman's uterus,
which holds a baby when a woman is
pregnant.
Lower Limbs (legs)
The top of the leg is called the
thigh, and the joint in the middle of
the leg is the knee. The front of the lower
leg is the shin and the back of the lower
leg is the calf. The ankle connects the
foot to the leg. Each foot has five toes.
The smallest toe is often called the little
toe while the large one is called the big
toe. At the ends of the toes are toenails.

Human anatomy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

List of bones of the human skeleton
Human anatomy, which, with physiology and biochemistry, is a
complementary basic medical science is primarily the scientific study
of the morphology of the adult human body.[1] Anatomy is subdivided
into gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy. [1] Gross anatomy (also
called topographical anatomy, regional anatomy, or anthropotomy) is
the study of anatomical structures that can be seen by unaided vision.
[1]
Microscopic anatomy is the study of minute anatomical structures
assisted with microscopes, which includes histology (the study of the
organization of tissues),[1] and cytology (the study of cells). Anatomy,
physiology (the study of function) and biochemistry (the study of the
chemistry of living structures) are complementary basic medical
sciences which are usually taught together (or in tandem).
In some of its facets human anatomy is closely related to embryology,
comparative anatomy and comparative embryology,[1] through
common roots in evolution; for example, much of the human body
maintains the ancient segmental pattern that is present in all
vertebrates with basic units being repeated, which is particularly
obvious in the vertebral column and in the ribcage, and can be traced
from very early embryos.
The human body consists of biological systems, that consist of organs,
that consist of tissues, that consist of cells and connective tissue.
The history of anatomy has been characterized, over a long period of
time, by a continually developing understanding of the functions of
organs and structures in the body. Methods have also advanced
dramatically, advancing from examination of animals through
dissection of preserved cadavers (dead human bodies) to
technologically complex techniques developed in the 20th century.

A full articulated human skeleton used in education

Generally, physicians, dentists, physiotherapists, nurses, paramedics,
radiographers, artists, and students of certain biological sciences, learn
gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy from anatomical models,
skeletons, textbooks, diagrams, photographs, lectures, and tutorials.
The study of microscopic anatomy (or histology) can be aided by
practical experience examining histological preparations (or slides)
under a microscope; and in addition, medical and dental students
generally also learn anatomy with practical experience of dissection
and inspection of cadavers (dead human bodies). A thorough working
knowledge of anatomy is required by all medical doctors, especially
surgeons, and doctors working in some diagnostic specialities, such as
histopathology and radiology.
Human anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry are basic medical
sciences, which are generally taught to medical students in their first
year at medical school. Human anatomy can be taught regionally or
systemically;[1] that is, respectively, studying anatomy by bodily
regions such as the head and chest, or studying by specific systems,
such as the nervous or respiratory systems. The major anatomy
textbook, Gray's Anatomy, has recently been reorganized from a
systems format to a regional format, [2][3] in line with modern teaching
methods.
[edit] Regional groups
Head and neck includes everything above the thoracic inlet
Upper limb includes the hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, arm, and
shoulder.
Thorax the region of the chest from the thoracic inlet to the thoracic
diaphragm.
Human abdomen to the pelvic brim or to the pelvic inlet.
The back the spine and its components, the vertebrae, sacrum,
coccyx, and intervertebral disks .
Pelvis and Perineum the pelvis consists of everything from the pelvic
inlet to the pelvic diaphragm. The perineum is the region between the
sex organs and the anus.
Lower limb everything below the inguinal ligament, including the
hip, the thigh, the knee, the leg, the ankle, and the foot.
[edit] Major organ systems
Circulatory system: pumping and channeling blood to and from the
body and lungs with heart, blood, and blood vessels.
Digestive System: digestion and processing food with salivary glands,
esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, intestines, rectum,
and anus.
Endocrine system: communication within the body using hormones
made by endocrine glands such as the hypothalamus, pituitary or
pituitary gland, pineal body or pineal gland, thyroid, parathyroids, and
adrenals or adrenal glands
Integumentary system: skin, hair and nails
 Immune system: the system that fights of disease; composed of
leukocytes, tonsils, adenoids, thymus, and spleen.
Lymphatic system: structures involved in the transfer of lymph
between tissues and the blood stream, the lymph and the nodes and
vessels that transport it.
Musculoskeletal system: movement with muscles and human skeleton
(structural support and protection with bones, cartilage, ligaments, and
tendons).
Muscular system: the system that moves the body with muscles,
ligaments, and tendons.
Nervous system: collecting, transferring and processing information
with brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and nerves
Reproductive system: the sex organs; in the female; ovaries, fallopian
tubes, uterus, vagina, mammary glands, and in the male; testes, vas
deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate, and penis.
Respiratory system: the organs used for breathing, the pharynx,
larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs, and diaphragm.
Skeletal system:the system that holds the body together and gives it
shape; composed of bones, cartilage, and tendons.
Urinary system: kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra involved in fluid
balance, electrolyte balance and excretion of urine.
Vestibular system : contributes to our balance and our sense of spatial
orientation.
[edit] Superficial anatomy

Superficial anatomy of female and male human

Superficial anatomy or surface anatomy is important in human
anatomy being the study of anatomical landmarks that can be readily
identified from the contours or other reference points on the surface of
the body.[1] With knowledge of superficial anatomy, physicians gauge
the position and anatomy of the associated deeper structures.
Common names of well known parts of the human body, from top to
bottom:
Head Forehead Jaw Cheek Chin
Neck Shoulders
Arm Elbow Wrist Hand Fingers Thumb
Spine Chest Thorax
Abdomen Groin
Hip Buttocks Leg Thigh Knee Calf Heel Ankle
Foot Toes
The eye, ear, nose, mouth, teeth, tongue, throat, adam's apple, breast,
penis, scrotum, clitoris, vulva, navel are also superficial structures.
