Strokes
Definition
浑身 and 全身 both are Nouns, which means [from head to foot; all over].
1) 全身 can function as the subject and the object, as well as the attributive and the adverbial; and 浑身 can function as the attributive and the adverbial, and also as the subject, but it cannot be the headword of a subject (e.g. one cannot say 他的浑身), nor can it be the object;
2) 全身 is used in objective statements of location, also in perception and description; 浑身 is only used in perception and description. The 浑身 is more colloquial than the former.
Example
Besides human beings and animals and plants, 全身 can also be applied to the body of an airplane, a ship, etc. 浑身 can only be applied to human beings or animals.
1) In examples ① ② ③ only 全身 can be used, not 浑身, because examples ① and ③ are just objective statements indicating 全身 as opposed to 半身 or 局部.
2) In example ② 全身 is the object. In other phrases like 全身检查 (general physical check), 全身性骨折 (general fracture), etc. 浑身 cannot be used either.
