The human head is the upper part of the body, housing the brain, eyes, ears, nose, and mouth ðŪ. It's the control center for thoughts, emotions, and senses. It sits atop the neck and connects to the rest of the body. It varies in size and shape from person to person. Think of it as the command module of a spaceship. It's protected by the skull. Damage to the head can have serious consequences.
