Vocabulary, Part Of Body And Shapes
A person's vocabulary is the set of words within a language that are familiar to that person. A vocabulary usually develops with age, and serves as a useful and fundamental tool for communication and acquiring knowledge. Acquiring an extensive vocabulary is one of the largest challenges in learning a second language.
Vocabulary is commonly defined as "all the words known and used by a particular person ". Knowing a word, however, is not as simple as simply being able to recognize or use it. There are several aspects of word knowledge which are used to measure word knowledge.

PART OF BODY
Human Body
One of the first things you need to know when working in
English is the parts of the body. You will need to learn the names of the
internal (inside the skin) and external body parts. You will also need to learn
the words for the functions of each of these body parts. Here are the basics to
get you started.
Head
Inside the head is the brain, which is responsible for
thinking. The top of a person's scalp is covered with hair. Beneath the
hairline at the front of the face is the forehead. Underneath the forehead are
the eyes for seeing, the nose for smelling, and the mouth for eating. On the
outside of the mouth are the lips, and on the inside of the mouth are the teeth
for biting and the tongue for tasting. Food is swallowed down the throat. At
the sides of the face are the cheeks and at the sides of the head are the ears
for hearing. At the bottom of a person's face is the chin. The jaw is located
on the inside of the cheeks and chin. The neck is what attaches the head to the
upper body.
Upper Body
At the top and front of the upper body, just below the neck
is the collar bone. On the front side of the upper body is the chest, which in
women includes the breasts. Babies suck on the nipples of their mother's
breasts. Beneath the ribcage are the stomach and the waist. The navel, more
commonly referred to as the belly button, is located here as well. On the
inside of the upper body are the heart for pumping blood and the lungs for
breathing. The rear side of the upper body is called the back, inside which the
spine connects the upper body to the lower body.
Upper Limbs (arms)
The arms are attached to the shoulders. Beneath this area is
called the armpit or underarm. The upper arms have the muscles known as triceps
and biceps. The joint halfway down the arm is called the elbow. Between the
elbow and the next joint, the wrist, is the forearm. Below the wrist is the
hand with four fingers and one thumb. Beside the thumb is the index finger.
Beside the index finger is the middle finger, followed by the ring finger and
the little finger. At the ends of the fingers are fingernails.
Lower Body
Below the waist, on left and right, are the hips. Between
the hips are the reproductive organs, the penis (male) or the vagina (female).
At the back of the lower body are the buttocks for sitting on. They are also
commonly referred to as the rear end or the bum (especially with children). The
internal organs in the lower body include the intestines for digesting food,
the bladder for holding liquid waste, as well as the liver and the kidneys.
This area also contains the woman's uterus, which holds a baby when a woman is
pregnant.
Lower Limbs (legs)
The top of the leg is called the thigh, and the joint in the
middle of the leg is the knee. The front of the lower leg is the shin and the
back of the lower leg is the calf. The ankle connects the foot to the leg. Each
foot has five toes. The smallest toe is often called the little toe while the
large one is called the big toe. At the ends of the toes are toenails.
