    HUMAN BODY AND SKELETON

    MEDICAL VOCABULARY

    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. 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.
