Also known as heads, noddles, cephalic

A head is the part of an organism which usually includes the ears, brain, forehead, cheeks, chin, eyes, nose, and mouth, each of which aid in various sensory functions such as sight, hearing, smell, and taste. Some very simple animals may not have a head, but many bilaterally symmetric forms do, regardless of size.

AI overview

A head is the upper part of an organism's body that typically contains structures like the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, which work together to help the animal see, hear, smell, and taste. While many animals have heads, some very simple organisms do not, though most animals with bilateral body symmetry (mirrored left and right sides) do have one.

头(head)又称头部,在解剖学上是指动物的部分。不同类动物头部范围不尽相同,例如脊椎动物亚门头部通常有脑、眼、耳、鼻、口、额、颊、颔等器官,用以协助各种感官功能,如视觉、听觉、嗅觉、味觉);但螯肢亚门头部,因体节愈合,而为头胸部。有些非常低等的动物可能没有头部,但多数两侧对称动物都有头。
