HUMAN BODY (DEND DHANO)
Human body (dend dhano) is the physical structure that we live in and use to interact with the world around us. It's made up of many different parts(fuonde) that work together to help us move, think, feel, and survive. These parts include organs like the heart, lungs, brain, and stomach, as well as bones, muscles, skin, and blood vessels. Each part has its own job to do, but they all rely on each other to function properly. Just like a machine, our bodies need fuel (food and water) and maintenance (sleep and hygiene) to stay healthy and keep working as they should.
Anatomy refers to the internal and external structures of the body and their physical relationships.
