The Human Head
A
normal human head has hair covering its top, rear and
upper
sides.
It has two ears, one on each side of the
head. The front of
the
head is called a face. A face consists of
a forehead across
the top
of the face, two eyebrows at the bottom of the
forehead,
and two
eyes, one under each eyebrow.
Beginning between the
eyes and extending downward is a
nose. The nose has two
openings at the bottom called
nostrils. On either side of the
nose
are
your cheeks. Below the nose are the
upper and lower lips. The
lips guard an opening called a
mouth. Inside the mouth are top
and
bottom
teeth which grow out of the gums.
Growing from the bottom
center
of the mouth is a tongue. Behind
the tongue is an opening
called
a throat which leads to the lungs and the
stomach. Under
the
mouth is the front part of your lower jaw called a
chin.
The
head is connected to the rest of the body by the
neck. In the
front
of the neck is a bump called your Adam's apple or
voice box.
This
bump is much more noticeable in men than in women.

There
are many muscles in your face that allow you to form
many
different expressions. By moving or tensing
the muscles of your
jaw,
your lips, your eyes, your forehead and other parts of
your
face, you can look happy, sad, excited,
curious, angry, bored,
afraid,
loving or worried.
Usually
our faces form these expressions on their own,
based on
the
feelings we have at the moment. Actors,
politicians and some
criminals learn to form various expressions with their faces
that are
not
related to their emotions. That makes it
difficult for others to
know
for sure what they are really thinking or feeling.
Some
people claim to know what a person is thinking or feeling
by
the
look in his eyes, but the eyes do not change. What people
really
notice
is the tiny changes in the rest of the face that surround the
eyes.
Your eyes have many different
parts. Your eyelids are the skin coverings
that slide down over your eyeballs when you
blink. Eyelashes are
short, curved hairs
that grow from the bottom edge of your
eyelids.
Eyebrows are
the short, curved hairs that grow above your
eyelids.
The colored part of
your eyeballs is called the cornea. Corneas
can
be blue, green,
brown, yellow, or a combination of colors. The
pupil
is a black dot in
the center of your cornea. The pupil grows
larger
when
the light is dim and
smaller when the light is bright.
A person with no
hair on his head is said to be bald. If
there is hair on some parts of the head but not on others, that
person is partially bald.
The
glass or plastic lenses set in metal or plastic frames and
supported by the nose and ears are called glasses,
eyeglasses or spectacles. Lenses
that are placed directly on the eyeball are called contacts
or
contact lenses.
contacts或contact lenses:
隐形眼镜
cornea角膜,
pupil瞳孔,还有小学生之意
Below your neck
is the part of your body called the torso.
Sometimes it is just called 'your body'. The
upper front part of your torso is called the
chest. The chest is like a skin and
muscle-covered cage. The cage is made of curved
bones called ribs. Inside this cage are your
lungs and your heart. Below the chest is the area
called the abdomen. Sometimes this area is also
called your stomach or belly. Inside the abdomen,
or in the abdominal cavity, are located the actual stomach organ,
the liver, the spleen, the large and small intestines, and the
bladder. Women also have their
uterus and ovaries in the abdominal cavity.
