Lower Limbs (legs)
The top of the leg is called the thigh, and the joint in the middle of the leg is the 
knee. The front of the lower leg is the shin and the back of the lower leg is the calf. 
The ankle connects the foot to the leg. Each foot has five toes. The smallest toe is 
often called the little toe while the large one is called the big toe. At the ends of the 
toes are toenails.

Task 3.
Read the text and create vocabulary based on the text about Alternative medicine 
You probably have a basic understanding of how modern medicine works: People have a yearly 
checkup, take medicine when they're sick, get a cast if they break a bone, and they're good as 
new. 
What Is It? 
The term "alternative medicine" is used to describe healing treatments that are not part of 
conventional medical training — like acupuncture, massage therapy, or herbal medicine. People 
used to consider practices like these outside the mainstream, which is why they got the name 
"alternative."
 
Eastern countries have a longstanding tradition of teaching alternative medicine. But until 
recently, most Western hospitals didn't provide any alternative treatments and Western medical 
schools didn't teach them. 
Patients in Western countries are becoming more receptive to trying alternative techniques, and 
have been asking for them. As a result, many Western medical schools are starting to teach these 
medicine techniques and theories. Some hospitals and doctors are supplementing their regular 
medical care with alternative techniques. 
Many patients and health care providers use alternative treatments together with conventional 
therapies. This is known as 
complementary medicine
. 
Both alternative and complementary medicine use the same kinds of remedies to treat a health 
condition. The difference is that alternative medicine is often used 
instead of
conventional 
medical techniques. Complementary medicine is used 
in addition to
conventional medicine, not 
as a replacement. The field of complementary and alternative medicine is known as CAM for 
short.
