Note to Pupils:

Body Parts And Their Functions

Nose:

Function: The nose is responsible for smelling and helps us detect different scents. It also filters and humidifies the air we breathe, trapping particles before they reach the lungs.

2. Mouth:

Function: The mouth is used for various functions, including eating, drinking, and speaking. It is also essential for the initial stages of digestion, as chewing breaks down food into smaller pieces.

3. Teeth:

Function: Teeth are crucial for chewing and breaking down food into manageable pieces, facilitating the digestion process. They also play a role in speech and contribute to facial structure.

4. Legs:

Function: Legs provide support and allow movement. They enable walking, running, and other physical activities. Additionally, legs help maintain balance and posture.

5. Eyes:

Function: Eyes are essential for vision, allowing us to see and interpret the world around us. They capture visual information and send signals to the brain, enabling us to recognize shapes, colors, and objects.

Evaluation:

Name three parts of the body and their functions.
Why is it important to inspect and take care of our body parts?
