Regions of the body
The human body can be divided into five regions: the head,
neck, and trunk, upper and lower limbs.
Head
The skull (also called the cranium) houses the brain, which
coordinates all bodily function and keeps them, balanced. The face is made up
of plate-like bones that protect the eyes and the sinuses.
Neck
Seven body structures in the neck, called cervical vertebrae,
support the head and protect the spinal.
Trunk
It includes the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. The chest
(thorax) extends from the neck to the lower ribs. The abdomen extends from the
lower ribs to the pelvic girdle. The pelvis is protected by bone of the pelvic
girdle.
The spinal column continues through the trunk and is supported by 12 thoracic vertebrae (in the chest). Five lumbar vertebrae (in the lower back), five sacral vertebrae (at the base of the spine), and the coccyx (the tailbone).
Upper Limb
This includes the shoulders joint,
upper arm, elbow, wrist and hand.
Lower Limb
This includes the hip joint, thigh,
knees, lower leg, ankle and foot
