Human Growth and Developments says that the human body is made up of everything we know about it, including our genetics, external environments and behaviors.
Every living cell, tissue and organ in the human body is part of the structure of the human organisms.
The head, neck, torso, arms and legs are the basic parts of the human body. There are many biological and chemical interactions that keep the human body machine running.

The human body has different systems.
Our bodies are made up of a number of biological systems that perform specific functions.
The job of the circulatory system is to move blood, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and hormones around the body. It contains the heart, blood, blood vessels, arteries and veins. The human body's network of blood vessels, veins and capillaries is over 60,00 miles long, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
The body has a series of connected organs that allow it to break down and absorb food. It includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, rectum, and anus. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases states that the pancreas and the liver play a role in the digestion of food.
The hormones are released into the blood through a network of glands. The hormones travel to different tissues and regulate various bodily functions. One of the glands in the pancreas releases hormones to regulate blood sugar.
The immune system protects the body from harmful pathogens. The Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) says that the immune system is activated when the body's immune cells are exposed to the surface of a pathogen. The system is made up of the immune system, the bone marrow, the white blood cells, and the leukocytes.

The body's defense system includes the lymphatic system, which includes the lymphatic system. The Cleveland Clinic says that it is its main job to make and move the clear fluid that contains white blood cells. Excess lymph fluid is removed from bodily tissues and returned to the blood.
The nervous system sends signals to different parts of the body when voluntary actions are taken. The brain and spine are part of the central nervous system. According to the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the peripheral nervous system consists of nerves that connect every other part of the body to the central nervous system.
Fight or flight is related to the sympathetic nervous system.
According to the Library of Congress, the body's muscular system consists of 650 muscles that help in movement, blood flow and other bodily functions. Skeletal muscle which is connected to bone and helps with voluntary movement, smooth muscle which is found inside organs and Cardiac muscle which is found in the heart are the three types of muscle.
The reproductive system allows humans to reproduce. The male reproductive system includes the penis and the testes. The female reproductive system consists of the vagina, uterus, and ovaries. A fertilized egg is created when a sperm cell and egg cell mix.
The human body has between 206 and 213 bones in it, which are connected by a network of muscles and joints. Humans have 270 bones when they are infants. The skeleton helps us move and is involved in the production of blood cells and the storage of calcium. The teeth are part of the skeleton, but not bones.
The respiratory system allows us to take in vital oxygen and expel carbon dioxide. The lungs, the trachea, and the diaphragm comprise it.
The small air sacs inside the lungs are called alveoli. The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place here. The image is from the genic Images.

Ure is a waste product produced when certain foods are broken down, and it is eliminated by the urinary system. The system includes two kidneys, two ureters, the bladder, two muscles and the urethra. The urine leaves the body through the urethra and goes down the ureters.
The body's largest organ is the skin. It protects us from the outside world and is our first defense against pathogens. Our skin helps regulate body temperature. Hair and nails are included in the integumentary system.
What are the vital organs of the body?
Fast facts.
The human body has more than 30 trillion cells.
It is thought that the microbes in our bodies are around 39 trillion cells.
The average adult takes around 22,000 breaths a day.
The kidneys process about 50 gallons of blood each day to remove 2 quarts of waste and water.
Adults excrete about a quarter and a half liters of urine each day.
The human brain has 100 billion nerve cells.
The average adult has 50 percent of their body weight in water.
What are vestigial organs?
The human body has other organs and structures that no longer serve a purpose. According to the Department of Anatomy at Midwestern University, they played a role in human survival.
The coccyx or tailbone is one of the organs that have lost function over the course of human evolution. According to the New York Times, Charles Darwin first proposed that humans descended from primates with tails, noting the tiny set of vertebrae we all share.
The appendix is an example of a seemingly functionless organ. The appendix is a small pouch in the lower abdominal area of the human body. The appendix is usually redundant in the function of the human body, however, Midwestern University found that it may be useful for several types of beneficial gutbacteria.
