Human Body 
Here we will see a summary of the parts of the body in English. This is so important for doctors 
and nurses. There are internal and external body parts. Here are some of them. 
HEAD: Inside the head you can find 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 you can find the lips, and on 
the inside of the mouth are the teeth for biting and the tongue for tasting. Then 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 and it moves. The neck is what links 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 links the upper body to the lower 
body. 
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. 
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 smal lest toe is 
often called the little toe while the large one is called the big toe. At the ends of the 
toes are toenails.
