To Part (Ways / Company) is used when two people leave each other. This could be physically or when a relationship ends.
Example: #1) Though we wanted to be together, we parted at the end of the night. #2) My ex and I couldn't reconcile our differences and we had to part ways. #3) My friends and I parted company after the third round of drinks.
To Take Part In is a synonym of "to participate in." It is used when the subject has an active role in an event.
Example: #1) He took part in a meeting this morning, asking many important questions, making notes and adding to the discussion. #2) I took part in the Highland Games this year, wearing a traditional kilt, drinking too much ale and showing a crowd of people my backside.
To Take Apart means to separate into individual pieces. It is used for machines and anything that must be assembled. The opposite is "to put together."
Example: #1) After I put together the shelves, I saw that they didn't fit my interior, so I took them apart and returned the shelves to IKEA. #2) I took apart my computer to install a new hard drive. #3) I took apart the DVD player to fix it, but I couldn't put it together again.
