The human body is divided into various anatomical regions that are used to identify specific areas for reference, diagnosis, and study. This article provides a comprehensive list of these regions.

Head and Neck[edit]

The head and neck region is the uppermost part of the human body and contains several important structures.

  • Cranium: The upper part of the skull, which houses the brain.
  • Face: The front part of the head, featuring the eyes, nose, and mouth.
  • Neck: Connects the head to the torso and contains the throat and neck muscles.

Torso[edit]

The torso or trunk is the central part of the body, and it is divided into the thorax (chest), abdomen, and pelvis.

  • Thorax: The upper part of the torso, enclosed by the rib cage, and contains the heart and lungs.
  • Abdomen: The region between the thorax and pelvis, containing digestive and other organs.
  • Pelvis: The lower part of the torso, containing the reproductive organs and the rectum.

Upper Limb[edit]

The upper limb or arm is divided into several regions.

  • Shoulder: The joint connecting the arm to the torso.
  • Arm: The region between the shoulder and elbow.
  • Forearm: The region between the elbow and wrist.
  • Hand: The distal end of the arm, used for manipulation and sensation.

Lower Limb[edit]

The lower limb or leg is also divided into several regions.

  • Hip: The joint connecting the leg to the torso.
  • Thigh: The region between the hip and knee.
  • Leg: The region between the knee and ankle.
