Out of or among body parts?

zazzex which of out of or among is better? both are ok to use? Yes.

"Bodily parts" is at least as bad as "body parts". We talk about "bodily functions" (which usually refers to functions we don't want to name explicitly) but not "bodily parts." Use "parts of the body."

Greatly obliged to you.

Cheers!
