What is notable about definite articles vs. possessive adjectives when it comes to parts of the body?

A

Definite articles (el, la, los, las) are used more frequently than the possessive adjective (my, your, his, her, our their).

Ella tiene un problema en el pie. (She has a problem with her foot.)
El niño tiene las manos sucias. (The boy has dirty hands. OR His hands are dirty.)
Tenemos veinte dedos; diez en las manos y diez en los pies. (We have twenty digits; ten on our hands and ten on our feet.)
