What are the parts of the
body?
Your body is more than what you
see when you look in the mirror –
there are different parts that have
different jobs, but each part works
together so you can eat, sleep, sit in
class and play with friends.
You have five digits on each
hand and each foot, making 10
fingers and 10 toes altogether.
Can you count to 20 using your
fingers and toes?
Each bit of our body is made up
from cells, which are the tiniest
form of life – like single Lego
pieces.
The parts of our body need
blood in order to work properly –
blood transports the nutrients
each cell needs, and takes
away any rubbish.
The heart keeps blood pumping
throughout our body – the heart
is one of our vital organs, which
means it helps keep us alive.
Parts of your arm include your
hand, wrist and elbow.
Parts of your leg include your
foot, ankle, shin and thigh.
The parts of your body that help
your arms twist around are
called shoulders – your legs are
attached to hips.
Your neck allows your head to
move from side to side, so you
can turn your face to look at
something.
Your stomach sits inside your
body, just below your chest and
lungs, and above your intestines.
Your body is a pretty amazing thing!,
Parts of your face include your
forehead, eyes, cheeks, ears,
nose and mouth.
