body parts

Limbs and organs

Body parts are the components of a human or animal body—arms, legs, eyes, heart, lungs.

The phrase often carries a clinical or distancing quality, as when discussing anatomy, injury, or dismemberment: The crash scattered body parts across the highway.

In euphemistic contexts, body parts may refer specifically to genitals or other areas considered private.
