Description

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.

शिर एक प्राणी का अंग है जिसमें साधारणतः कान, मस्तिष्क, ललाट, गाल, हनु, नेत्र, नाक और मुँह अन्तर्गत होते हैं, जिनमें से प्रत्येक दृष्टि, श्रवण, गंधानुभूति और स्वाद जैसे विभिन्न संवेदी कार्यों में सहायता करता है। कुछ बहुत ही सरल प्राणियों के पास शिर नहीं हो सकता है, लेकिन आकार के बावजूद कई द्विपक्षीय सममित रूप होते हैं।
