Knowing body part vocabulary is essential for medical situations, describing people, and daily conversation. Spanish body parts follow grammatical gender rules — most ending in -a are feminine (la cabeza, la pierna) and most ending in -o are masculine (el brazo, el dedo). Notable exceptions include la mano (hand), which is feminine despite ending in -o.
Medical vocabulary builds directly on body parts. Me duele el estómago (my stomach hurts), tengo dolor de cabeza (I have a headache), me he roto el brazo (I broke my arm). Spanish uses the definite article (el, la) with body parts instead of possessive adjectives — me lavo las manos means I wash my hands, not I wash the hands.
Some body part words vary across the Spanish-speaking world. Hair can be pelo or cabello. Bangs are flequillo in Spain but cerquillo in Peru and fleco in Mexico. Knee is rodilla everywhere, but kneecap varies between rótula and choquezuela depending on the country.
