What do we call the study of the human body?

The greatest machine you’ll ever own is
your body. It’s more complicated
than any computer, it
lasts for a lifetime, and
it’s yours for free.
Body parts
Your body is made up
of hundreds of different
parts. You probably know
the names of the bits you
can see, but there are
many more hidden
deep inside you.
Inside your body
Doctors can see
inside your body
with special cameras.
X-ray cameras take
pictures of hard body
parts like bones. Other
cameras, called scanners,
can see soft body parts.
Two of everything
Body parts often come
in pairs. You have
two feet, two eyes,
two ears, two lungs,
and so on. This
means you have
a handy spare in
case one of them
gets damaged.
