As with other nouns denoting body parts, the definite articlela(“the”) is used where English would use a possessive determiner (e.g.my,your,his, orher), as long as the verb that it complements is pronominal and therefore implies possession. Examples: "Lávate las manos, por favor" (Wash your hands, please) and "Átale las manos" (Tie his hands); contrast with "Dibuja tus manos" (Draw your hands).
