My daughter is 10 months old and she knows, Knees, head, hair, eyes, nose, mouth, teeth hands, feet, cheeks, belly. It is cute to see her touch each when we ask where they are.
EDIT- I think she knows a lot of these parts of the body from a book that we have read to her since she was about 3 months old...Its called Here are My Hands, By Bill Martin Jr. As we read each body part we would touch it and she caught on pretty early.

I have 4 children of my own plus I have been doing child care in my home for 20 years. Each child is different, but I would say that sometime around 15-18 months children become interested in pointing out where theirs and your eyes, nose, and mouth are. Some children are verbal earlier or are more curious and will be interested in learning those things closer to 12 months and some couldn't care less until closer to their 2nd birthday. You will find that babies generally understand much more than they can say. So, you can say to them, "Where is your nose?" and they can touch it before they can actually say the word nose.

I have always played a game with my kids, even at about 4 months old, doing the whole, 'whats this, this is your ear', and gently tweaking the appendage, and as the child got more proficient at picking out the said body part, i added more to the game. My 2 boys have always found it hilarious. By 2 years old my eldest could point at his eyebrow, heel, shoulderblade, tail bone and all the other basic parts, and say the names of most. But they could both point out their eyes, nose and mouth by 1 year old.

One year old knew all the parts of the body. All you had to do was say where's your nose and she would touch her nose, and so on down the line.

my daughter Alexis knew were her eyes were at 1ish she couldn't say any of her face parts until she was about a year and a half. As long as you bring it up a lot they can pick up early. It all depends on how much you work with them. Dolls work great.

My daughter knew those around 8 months, but obviously could only point to them, not say the words. But we worked on it alot.

my son is now 18 months and can say all those things,point to his and then point to mine.
At 12 months he could point to them but couldn't say them.
He is obsessed with teeth,cleaning them,touching them and mine too.
