.
Here are some for body parts that I already wrote down:
El talón - on birds, their talóns are at their heel
El pecho - the pectoral muscles are on the chest
El torso - is easy to remember!
Las nalgas - nasty gas comes from here (buttocks)
El abdomen - again, easy to remember

Los dientes - what dentists work with (teeth)
La punta del dedo - The point of the finger. (fingertip)
La tibia - also called the tibia in English (shinbone)

El dedo del corazón - in the heart (middle) of the fingers (middle finger)
El muslo - a large muscle (thigh)
La palma - speaks for itself (palm)
El dedillo - is so diddi/small it doesn’t even get a separate word! (little finger)
