Basic Anatomy for Daily Life
🎯 Lesson Goal
- Identify the main parts of the human body.

👤 The Body Map
We divide the body into three main sections. Here are the important parts for each area:
💆 The Head & Face
• Hair
• Head
• Eyes
• Ears
• Nose
• Mouth
• Neck
• Throat
💪 The Torso & Arms
• Shoulders
• Chest
• Stomach
• Arms
• Elbows
• Hands
• Fingers
🦵 The Legs & Feet
• Legs
• Hips
• Knees
• Ankles
• Feet
• Toes
⚠️ Watch Out! Irregular Plurals
We don’t say “foots” or “tooths.” Use these instead:
🦶 1 Foot → 2 Feet
🦷 1 Tooth → 2 Teeth
