The seed-bearing part of a plant, consisting of reproductive organs(stamens and carpels) that are typically surrounded by a brightly coloured corolla (petals) and a green calyces (sepals). Flowering are heterosporangiante, producing two types of reproductive spores. The pollen (males pores) and ovules (females spores) are produced in different organs, but typical flower is a bisporangiante strobilus in that contains both organs.

In botany a leaf is an above-ground plant organ specialized for the photosynthesis. This epidermis is the outer layer of cells from the external world. The epidermises serves several functions: protections against water loss, regulation of the gas exchange, secretion of metabolic compounds and absorption of water.

METAL: is a chemical element that is a good conductor of both electricity and heat and forms cations and ionic bonds with none metals. In chemistry is an element, compound, or alloy characterized by high electrical conductivity. Metal are usually inclined to form cations through electro loss, reacting with oxygen in the air to form oxides over changing time scales: iron rust overs the years while potassium burns in seconds.

HEADPHONES: are a pair of small loudspeakers, or less commonly a single speaker, with a way of holding them close to a user’s ears and a means of connecting them to a signal source such as an audio amplifier, radio or CD player. They are also known as stereo phones, headsets or, colloquially cans. The in-ear versions are known as earphones or ear buds. In the context of telecommunication, the term headset is used to describe a combination of headphone and microphone used for two-way communication, for example with a telephone. PEN: (Latin pinna: feather) is a long
thin, rounded device used to apply ink to the surface for the purpose of writing, usually on paper.
10
Ink: is a liquid containing various pigments and or dyes used for colouring a surface to produce an image, text or design. Ink is a complex medium composed of solvents, pigments, dyes, resins, lubricants, solubilizers, surfactant, particulate matter,fluoresces, and other materials. The components of inks serve many purposes; the ink’s carrier, colorants, and other additives are used to control the flow and the thickness of the ink and its appearance when dry.
11
Scissors: are hand-operated cutting instruments. They consist of a pair of metal blades, or tangs, connected in such a way that the sharpened edges slide against each other. Scissors are used for cutting various thin materials, such as paper, cardboard, metal foil, thin plastic, cloth, rope and wire. Scissors can also be used to cut hair and food. scalpel: is a small and extremely sharp bladed instrument used for surgery, anatomical dissection and various arts and crafts. Graphical and model- making scalpels tend to have round handles, with textured grips, the blade is usually flat and straight, allowing it to be run easily against a straightedge to produce straight cuts.
12
Slide: a reversal film is a type of photographic film that produces a positive image on a transparent base. A slide is a specially mounted individual transparency intended for a projection onto a screen using a slide projector. The most common form is the 35mm slide, placed inside a cardboard or plastic shell for protection. This allows the photograph to be viewed by a large audience at once.
13
Paper: is a thin material mainly used
for writing upon, printing upon or for packaging. It is produced by pressing together moist fibres typically cellulose pulp derived from wood, rags or grasses, and drying them into flexible sheets.
Typewriter: is a mechanical or electromechanical device with a set of keys that when pressed, cause characters to be printed on a medium, usually paper.
14
hands: are the chief organs
for physically manipulating the environment. The fingertips contain some of the dense areas of the nerve ending of the body. It has a tactile feed back. The sense of touch is intimately associated with hands.
15
skin: is the outer covering of the body. The skin is the largest organ in the human body. For the average adult human, the skin has a surface area of between 1, 5 - 2 m2 , most of it is between 2- 3 mm thick. The average 6, 5 cm2 of skin holds 650 sweat glands, 20 blood vessels, 60 000 melanocytes, and more than athousand nerveending. The skin has sensations that contain a variety of nerve ending that react to the heat the cold, touch pressure, vibration, and tissue injury.
16
nose: the visible part of the human
nose is the protruding part of the face that bears the nostrils. The nose has an area of specialised cells which are responsible for smelling (part of the olfactory system). Another function of the nose is the conditioning of inhaled air warming it and making it more humid. Hair inside the nose prevent large particles from entering the lungs.
17
ear: is the organ that detects sounds, also plays a major role in the sense of balance and body position. Audition is the scientific name for the sense of sound. Sound is a form of energy that moves through air, water, in waves of pressure. The ear changes sound pressure waves from the outside world into a signal of nerve impulses sent to the brain.

19
Eyes: are organs that detect light, and send electrical impulses along the optic nerve to the visual and other areas of the brain. The eye works by allowing light to enter it and project onto a light sensitive panel of cells know as retina. The human eye can distinguish about 16 million colours. The eye is not properly a sphere, rather it is fused in a two piece unit. Made up in three coats, enclosing three transparent structures. The outermost is composed of the cornea and clear. The middle layer consists of the choroid, ciliary body and iris. The innermost is the retina, which gets its circulation from the vessels. Within these coats the vitreous body, and the flexible lens. The aqueous humour is a clear fluid that is contained in two areas: The lens is suspended to the ciliary body by the suspensory ligament (Zonule of Zinc) made up of fine transparent fibres.

Mouth: one differentiates between
the upper ( Labium superius) and the lower lip (labium inferius). The vertical groove on the upper lip is known as the phultrum. The mouth is the first portion of the alimentary canal that receives food and begins digestion by mechanically breaking up the solid food particles into smaller pieces and mixing them with saliva. The oral mucosa is the mucous membrane epithelium lining the inside of the mouth. In addition to its primary role as the beginning of the digestive system, in humans the mouth also plays a significant role in communication. While primary aspects of the voice are produced in the throat, the tongue, lips, and jaw are also needed to produce the range of sounds included in human language. Another nondigestive function of the mouth is its role in secondary social and/or sexual activity, such as kissing. The physical appearance of the mouth and lips play a part in defining sexual attractiveness. The mouth is normally moist, and is lined with a mucous membrane. The lips mark the transition from mucous membrane to skin, which covers most of the body.

Tongue piercing: is a body piercing
usually done directly through the centre of the tongue , and is one of the most popular piercing sites after the ear. There is a ritual in both Aztec and in Maya culture, with illustrations of priest piercing their tongue and then either drawing blood or passing rough cords, designed to inflict pain, though the hole: it was done to honour the gods. The Aborigine Australian holy man’s practice of piercing the tongue as to enable the holy man to suck with his tongue the evil magic out of his patient body.
25
Lingerie: are clothes worn under other
clothes, often next to the skin. They keep outer garments from being soiled by perspiration, urine, semen, feces and other discharges: shapes the body; and provide support for parts of it.
26
foot: is an anatomical structure found in many vertebrates. It is the terminal portion of a limb which bears weight and allows locomotion. In many animals with feet, the foot is a separate organ at the terminal part of the leg made up of one or more segments or bones, generally including claws or nails.
