Excluding the word SPINE, can you give me 2 words which are part of the human body that also have one word anagrams that are part of the human body?

Again, please exclude SPINE.

No partial answers. No slangs, abbreviations.

One of the two I found was a 4 letter word. I am sure there are more?

    $\begingroup$ PINES are not part of the human body; they are a kind of tree. $\endgroup$

How about

ARSE and EARS

assuming British English is allowed.

  • $\begingroup$ I think the former is officially counted as slang, but realistically, its just part of british language so I think it should count :P $\endgroup$

A maybe rarer answer would be

CUSPID (canine tooth) -> CUPIDS (Short for Cupid's Bow, a double-curved upper lip)

and a more reliable; albeit informal answer:

GUMS -> MUGS (someone's face; informal)

Another one to add:

TORSO -> ROOTS (as in hair or teeth - hey if "FRINGE" counts, this is no less valid.)
