Kehaosadel

Kehaosadel is an Estonian term meaning "body parts." It is used to refer collectively to the components that make up the human body, including both external features and internal organs.

The scope of kehaosadel covers major anatomical structures such as the head, torso, and limbs, as well as the skin and internal organs like the heart, lungs, liver, stomach, and kidneys. It also encompasses organ systems such as the nervous, circulatory, digestive, respiratory, musculoskeletal, endocrine, and immune systems. In educational contexts, kehaosadel are distinguished from microscopic elements such as cells and tissues, which are described with more specific terms.

The term is common in textbooks, diagrams, and clinical notes to discuss location, function, and relationships between body parts. It can be used in general language or in specialized discussions of anatomy and medicine. Variants or related phrases in Estonian may include kehaosade nimetused (names of body parts) or other anatomical terms.

Etymology and usage: The word is formed from keha ("body") and osa ("part"), with a plural form indicating the set of body parts. Kehaosadel functions as a general category for describing the components that compose the human body in both everyday language and scientific contexts.
