Lesson THE HUMAN BODY.I. The human body'GGnsists of three main parts: the h&ad, the trunk and the limbs i . , < . , - —• The head The skullj as the bony framework of the head is-called, is 'covered with hair of a-light /dark, fair/ colour, but many . old and middle-aged men "lose their hair; they become bald. In old age the hair often turns grey or even white. Inside the skull is the brain, the organ pf. thinking, the centre of the nervous system. The face, as the'front part of the head is named, consists of the foreheadj the temples, the eyes, the nose, the mouth, the cheeks, and the chin. The eye is the organ of, sight.* We see with our eyes. The eyeballs are covered by oyelids, and they are further proteced by the eyelashes, rows.of hairs which grow out from the edges of the eyelids.

The nose, the organ of smell, has two nostrils. The upper, bony part Is called the bridge. The mouth is really the opening between the lips /upper and lower/, through which the breath passes when we speak, and through which we receive our food when we eat and drinic. A normal^man has thirty-two- teeth, twelve incisors /front teeth/"with which he bites, and twenty molars /double teeth, back teeth/ with which he masticates /grinds/ chews, the food' before swallowing. The organs -of taste are the tongue and the palate. The most important organs of speech are the tongue, the uvula, and the vocal chords. The ear is the organ of hearing. Some people have good ears, they hear well; others have bad ears, they hear badly, they are hard of hearing. Those who cannot hear
