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.

5. 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.

6. 6 Elements of Human Body

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. 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.
