Body Parts

Body parts are external or internal. External body parts are outside parts of your body such as an arm, eye, ear or nose. Internal body parts are inside of you such as heart, lungs or kidneys. All parts of the body play a special role in how our body works.

Hearts pump blood through our body. Vessels (tubes, veins) are connected to the heart. These tubes take the blood to all parts of body.

Our lungs help us breathe. Lungs take oxygen from the air into the blood and carbon dioxide from the blood into the air.

Muscles contract and relax to help us move.

Bones are hard parts of our body. They help hold our body up. Bones protect the internal parts (organs) of our body.

Kidneys take out bad things from our blood and change them into urine.

Our brain controls all parts of our body. It helps us think.

The stomach is where our food goes. It breaks our food into small pieces so that our blood can take nutrients from the food. Food gives us energy and keeps us strong.

A joint is where two bones meet. Joints have cartilage (a soft material) in them so that the hard bones can move easily.
