Most Common Body Part Nouns

Directions

Name the 50 most common nouns referring to specific body parts according to the Corpus of Contemporary English. Words must refer to a specific internal or external part, i.e. I don’t accept ‘vein’ or ‘cell’. I do realize some of these can be nouns referring to something other than the body part, but I couldn’t separate those out, so the overall usage as a noun is counted. Length of noun shown.

Given “words must refer to a specific internal or external part” and ‘vein’ and ‘cell’ aren’t accepted, I’m surprised that “bone” works.
