A hand is a prehensile, multi-fingered appendage located at the distal end (extremity) of the forelimbs/upper limbs of tetrapod animals — chiefly primates such as humans, chimpanzees, monkeys and lemurs — that is used primarily for grasping and object manipulation. Some non-primate arboreal vertebrates with opposable fingers such as the koala (who has two opposable thumbs on each "hand" and friction ridges extremely similar to human fingerprints), opossums, chameleons and leaf frogs are often also described as having "hands" instead of paws or feet. The giant panda (who has a "pseudothumb" made of a sesamoid wrist bone to aid grasping) and the raccoon are sometimes also described as having…

Since August 20, 2007, at least 20 detached human feet have been found on the coasts of the Salish Sea in British Columbia, Canada, and Washington, United States of America. The first discovery, on August 20, 2007, was on Jedediah Island in British Columbia. Feet have been discovered on the coasts of islands in British Columbia and in the U.S. cities of Tacoma and Seattle. In Canada, the British Columbia Coroners Service said in December 2017 that foul play had been ruled out by authorities in all previous cases. The feet were usually found in sneakers, which the coroner thought were responsible for both keeping the feet buoyant enough to eventually wash ashore, and for giving the feet enou…

In jawed vertebrates, the mandible (from the Latin mandibula, 'for chewing'), lower jaw, or jawbone is a bone that makes up the lower – and typically more mobile – component of the mouth (the upper jaw being known as the maxilla). The jawbone is the skull's only movable, posable bone, sharing joints with the cranium's temporal bones. The mandible hosts the lower teeth (their depth delineated by the alveolar process). Many muscles attach to the bone, which also hosts nerves (some connecting to the teeth) and blood vessels. Amongst other functions, the jawbone is essential for chewing food. Owing to the Neolithic advent of agriculture (c. 10,000 BCE), human jaws evolved to be smaller. Althoug…

In physiology, body water is the water content of an animal body that is contained in the tissues, the blood, the bones and elsewhere. The percentages of body water contained in various fluid compartments add up to total body water (TBW). This water makes up a significant fraction of the human body, both by weight and by volume. Ensuring the right amount of body water is part of fluid balance, an aspect of homeostasis.

The talus (; Latin for ankle or ankle bone; pl.: tali), talus bone, astragalus (), or ankle bone is one of the group of foot bones known as the tarsus. The tarsus forms the lower part of the ankle joint. It transmits the entire weight of the body from the lower legs to the foot. The talus has joints with the two bones of the lower leg, the tibia and thinner fibula. These leg bones have two prominences (the lateral and medial malleoli) that articulate with the talus. At the foot end, within the tarsus, the talus articulates with the calcaneus (heel bone) below, and with the curved navicular bone in front; together, these foot articulations form the ball-and-socket-shaped talocalcaneonavicula…
