The human body is a complex and fascinating marvel of nature, comprised of various interconnected systems and organs. From head to toe, it consists of numerous body parts that work together to enable us to function and thrive. These body parts can be broadly categorized into three types: external, internal, and sensory.
External body parts include the head, face, limbs, and skin, which serve as our interface with the world. Internal body parts encompass organs such as the heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys, which play vital roles in maintaining our bodily functions. Lastly, the sensory body parts, like the eyes, ears, nose, and tongue, allow us to perceive and interact with our surroundings, enriching our experiences. Each body part, regardless of its type, contributes to our overall well-being and reflects the marvel of human anatomy.
Vocabulary is very vast and that’s why ESL students have to study various fields of vocabulary. Today we are going to study part of the human body with infographics and PDF.
