- Define Human Body.
Human body is the physical substance of the human organism, composed of living cells and extracellular materials and organized into tissues, organs, and systems. human body; human anatomy.

Information about human body:
- If we were to “break apart” the human body at the microscopic level, then the cell would constitute the most basic unit of life.
- The average adult has somewhere between 30 – 40 trillion cells, and an estimated 242 billion new cells are produced every day. When a select group of cells with similar functions come together, it forms a tissue.
- Tissues cumulate into organs, organ systems and eventually, an individual organism.
Cells -> Tissues -> Organs -> Organ System -> Organism

Human Anatomy:
Skeleton
- The human body exhibits a variety of movements from walking, bending and crawling to running, jumping and climbing.
- The framework that enables us to do all these activities is the skeleton.
- Humans have as much as 300 bones at birth.
- However, the bones start to fuse with age.
- At adulthood, the total number of bones is reduced to 206.
- The skeleton also protects several vital organs such as the heart, lungs and the liver.
- Bones are attached to other bones through ligaments, a fibrous connective tissue.
- Joints are points at which two bones meet.
⭐___________________⭐
Muscles:
- Muscles are specialised tissues which assist the bones in locomotion.
- Muscles are attached to the bones through tendons.
- Movement of limbs happens due to the contraction and relaxation of the corresponding muscles present in that region.
- Joints help in the flexibility of bones, but a bone cannot be bent or stretched until a muscle acts on it.
- In other words, the muscles attached to that bone pulls it to the direction of movement.
⭐___________________⭐
List of Human Body parts:
- Human body parts comprise a head, neck and four limbs that are connected to a torso.
- Giving the body its shape is the skeleton, which is composed of cartilage and bone.
- Human body internal parts such as the lungs, heart, and brain, are enclosed within the skeletal system and are housed within the different internal body cavities.
- The spinal cord connects the brain with the rest of the body.
⭐___________________⭐
Human Body Structure:
There are different cavities in the human body that house various organ systems.
- The cranial cavity is the space within the skull, it protects the brain and other parts of the central nervous system.
- The lungs are protected in the pleural cavity.
- The abdominal cavity houses the intestines, liver and spleen.
⭐___________________⭐
Circulatory System:
- The circulatory system is also referred to as the cardiovascular system.
- It comprises the heart and all the blood vessels: arteries, capillaries, and veins.
There are essentially two components of circulation, namely:
- Systemic circulation
- Systemic circulationPulmonary circulation
- Besides these two, there is a third type of circulation called Coronary circulation.
⭐___________________⭐
Digestive system:
- The digestive system breaks down food and assimilates nutrients into the body, which the body then uses for growth and cell repair.
- The process of digestion starts with mastication (chewing food).
The major components of the digestive system are:
- Mouth
- Teeth
- Tongue
- Oesophagus
- Stomach
- Liver
- Pancreas
- Gastrointestinal tract
- Small and large intestines
- Rectum
⭐___________________⭐
Reproductive System:
- The human reproductive system is also known as the genital system that comprises internal and external organs that help in reproduction.
- It varies for both males and females.
⭐___________________⭐
Respiratory System:
- The respiratory process involves the intake of oxygen, and the exhale of carbon dioxide from the body.
- This system is also known as the ventilatory system, gas exchange system or respiratory apparatus. Vertebrates like human beings possess lungs for respiration.
- The process of respiration starts with the cycle of inhalation and exhalation.
- Inhalation results in the oxygen entering into the body and exhalation results in carbon dioxide exiting from the body.
Anatomically, the respiratory system comprises the following organs:
- Trachea
- Bronchi
- Bronchioles
- Lungs
- Diaphragm
⭐___________________⭐
Nervous System:
- The voluntary and involuntary actions are maintained and taken care of by the central nervous system.
- It helps to channel the signals to and from different parts of our body.
- The central nervous system contains the brain and the spinal cord, while the peripheral nervous system includes nerves and ganglia that are present outside the brain and spinal cord.
- Through the axons, every part of the body gets connected.
Nervous System is broadly classified into two categories:
- Central Nervous System
- Peripheral Nervous System
