Body Part Words

Я хотел бы узнать, почему слова, которые называют части тела нерегулярнее, чем другие слова?
У большинства этих слов нерегулярное произношение, например: рука, зуб, губа, грудь, мозг, бедро, глаз, ребро и т.д.
Есть причина?

(ps is it correct to say слова для частей тела)

Хммм... А что такого нерегулярного в их произношении?

"Слова для частей тела" - лучше сказать "названия частей тела"

most of these body part words have irregular stress patterns, just wondered if there is some kind of reason for this.

Stupid question.

Why is a leg called a leg in English and not a mrata.

They are no more irregular than many other Russian words.

And probably because most of them are two-syllable words which increases the possibility of noticing this kind of floating stress.
