Here's basically how Charles Bliss explained his symbols for the human body. He started with what he called a child's simple drawing of a person...

...and then separated out the parts of the drawing to get the following symbols:

Head :         Face :         Neck :         Arm :         Hand :

Trunk area of body :         Legs :        

You will see in another section of these lessons the following symbol for Body :
This one means the whole body from head to toes, whereas the the one above (Trunk) means the part of the body between neck and waist.
