  1. Human Body Composition Body composition is utilized to portray the

    rates of bloated, bone and muscle in human figures, it is essential to maintain the body to keep healthy.
  2. Human Body Composition How many elements are available in Human

    Body? Human body is made up of six elements: 1. Oxygen 43% , 2. Carbon 16%, 3. Hydrogen 7%, 4. Nitrogen 1.8%, 5. Calcium 1%, and 6. Phosphorus 0.780%. Only about 0.85% is composed of another five elements: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium. All are necessary to life.
  3. Human Body Composition Usage of 6 Elements and its Purpose

    Oxygen: Element Name : Oxygen Symbol : O Presence in : 1. 70 kg Person : 43 kg 2. Body : 65 % 3. Earth Crust : 46 % 4. Earth Ocean : 86 % 5. Universe : 1 % Oxygen is important for human respiration. It is also used to kill bacteria that causes gangrene.
  4. Human Body Composition Carbon : Element Name : Carbon Symbol

    : C Presence in 70 kg Person : 16 kg Body : 23 % Earth Crust : 0.18 % Earth Ocean : 0.0028 % Universe : 0.5 % Carbon is used in formation of cytoskeleton, enzymes, hormones and regulation of physiology of body.
  5. Human Body Composition Hydrogen: Element Name : Hydrogen Symbol :

    H Presence in 70 kg Person : 7 kg Body : 10 % Earth Crust : 0.15 % Earth Ocean : 11 % Universe : 75 % Hydrogen is used in the fixation of nitrogen from the air in the Haber ammonia process and for the hydrogenation of fats and oils.
  6. Human Body Composition Nitrogen: Element Name : Nitrogen Symbol :

    N Presence in 70 kg Person : 1.8 kg Body : 3 % Earth Crust : 0.002 % Earth Ocean : 0.00005 % Universe : 0.1 % Your body needs the nitrogen in amino acids from protein foods to make other amino acids it uses to synthesize human proteins.
  7. Human Body Composition Calcium: Element Name : Calcium Symbol :

    Ca Presence in 70 kg Person : 1.0 kg Body : 1.5 % Earth Crust : 5 % Earth Ocean : 0.00042 % Universe : 0.007 % Calcium is the most plentiful mineral found in the human body.
  8. Human Body Composition Phosphorus: Element Name : Phosphorus Symbol :

    P Presence in 70 kg Person : 780 g Body : 1.1 % Earth Crust : 0.099 % Earth Ocean : 0.000007 % Universe : 0.0007 % Phosphorus is one mineral that performs a number of important functions. It combines with calcium to form a relatively insoluble compound calcium phosphate, which gives strength and rigidity to bones and teeth.
