I'm a teenager, and I've been told that I need to get a yearly physical. What's a physical?

A physical is a checkup where doctors examine your body and check for any signs of disease or illness. They will ask questions about your medical history, perform tests such as blood work, take your temperature, listen to your heart and lungs, and do an examination of your eyes, ears, nose, throat, skin, and other parts of your body.
