Body parts


Parts of your body. Not all of these are human parts - people don't have tails and wings but they still qualify as body parts! Sorry, no internal organs or reproductive parts, photographs of them don't really suit a site for children.

Ankle


Your ankle is the joint between your foot and your leg. You can feel quite a bump on the side of your ankles.

Antler


Antlers grow in pairs on the top of the heads of most deer. They can be quite complicated, with many different forks and branches. Male deer grow antlers every year, then the antlers die and the deer sheds them. Antlers are similar to horns, but animals with horns do not shed them every year.
