head definition and meaning

What is "head"?

The head is the uppermost part of the human body that contains the brain, sensory organs, and various vital structures. It is situated atop the neck and serves as the main control center for the body. The head includes features such as the face, which comprises the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, allowing for vision, smell, taste, and hearing. It also houses the skull, which protects the brain, and features the hair and scalp. The head plays a crucial role in communication, perception, and overall human identity. It is responsible for processing sensory information, controlling voluntary movements, and housing the primary organs necessary for human cognition and sensory experience.
