kehaosades

Kehaosad is an Estonian term that refers to the parts that make up a body. It covers both external components, such as the head, limbs, torso, and skin, and internal components, including organs, tissues, bones, and bodily fluids. In English, the comparable concept is typically called body parts or anatomy.

Kehaosad can be broadly classified into external and internal elements. External body parts include the head and face, neck, trunk, arms, and legs, as well as the skin and sense organs. Internal components encompass organs such as the heart, lungs, liver, and stomach; supporting structures like bones, joints, and muscles; and regulatory systems including nerves, blood vessels, glands, and lymphatic tissues. Collectively, these components organize into organ systems, such as the skeletal, muscular, circulatory, nervous, digestive, respiratory, endocrine, urinary, reproductive, immune, and integumentary (skin) systems.

The study of kehaosad falls under anatomy and physiology. It explains the positions, relationships, and functions of body parts and how they contribute to movement, sensation, protection, metabolism, and homeostasis. Knowledge of body parts is essential in medicine, surgery, rehabilitation, and education, and it supports accurate communication about health and disease.

Variation and development are common in kehaosad. Anatomical structures can vary among individuals and across ages, and congenital differences or injuries can alter the typical arrangement or function of certain parts. Standard nomenclature, such as anatomical terms, aids precise description and communication in scientific and clinical contexts.
