bien!Now you're ready to forge ahead.First let's look at thebody.For some strange reason,the medical profession likes to learnthe name of the body parts,so the following should satisfy that need!  \n## Notes:\n\n·Oreja is the outer ear;oído is the inner ear.In Mexico,oreja is oftenused only to refer to animal ears.  \n·In Mexico,nalgas is often considered to be a vulgar or street term;the use of pompis or glúteo is therefore recommended for“but-tocks.\"In the Caribbean,nalgas (softened to nalguitas)is moreacceptable than in Mexico;however,in Central America and SouthAmerica el glúteo or la cadera(hip)seem to be the most acceptedor,at least,most euphemistic forms.  \n## Las partes del cuerpoVista anterior (front view)\n\n—la cabezala frente ——el oido—el ojola boca ——la nariz  \nel
