Kehaosast

Kehaosast is an Estonian term used to describe a part of the body. The word is a compound formed from keha (body) and osa (part). It is used in anatomical and educational contexts to denote a specific region or component of the human body. In practice, kehaosast can refer to any defined section, such as the head, torso, limbs, or internal organs, when discussing localization, injury, or function.

In education and medicine, kehaosast helps label diagrams and explain how different regions relate to each other. The concept is used to talk about subdivisions of the body in a systematic way, facilitating communication among students, clinicians, and researchers. The term appears in various grammatical forms depending on the sentence structure and case, but the underlying idea remains the same: a body part or segment.

The term is more common in formal or technical language. In everyday Estonian, speakers typically name the specific body part directly, for example by saying käsi (hand), jalg (leg), or pea (head). Kehaosast thus functions as a generic label for discussing body parts in general or when describing multiple parts collectively.
