π§ββοΈ What Is the Human Body Made Of?
𧬠1οΈβ£ Tiny building blocks: Cells
- The human body is made of trillions of tiny cells
- Cells are like LEGO blocks π§±
- Different cells do different jobs
Examples:
- Muscle cells πͺ
- Nerve cells π§
- Blood cells π©Έ
π§« 2οΈβ£ What are cells made of?
Cells are made of molecules, and molecules are made of atoms.
βοΈ 3οΈβ£ Important elements in the human body
Here are the main elements we are made of:
| Element | Percentage | Why itβs important |
|---|---|---|
| π§ Oxygen (O) | ~65% | Part of water and breathing |
| β« Carbon (C) | ~18% | Builds all life molecules |
| π¨ Hydrogen (H) | ~10% | Part of water and energy |
| π΅ Nitrogen (N) | ~3% | Makes proteins |
| 𦴠Calcium (Ca) | ~1.5% | Strong bones and teeth |
| β‘ Phosphorus (P) | ~1% | Energy and bones |
π Fun fact: You are made of star elements π
π§ 4οΈβ£ Water is the biggest part!
- About 60β70% of your body is water
- Water helps:
- Carry nutrients
- Control body temperature
- Remove waste
π§ 5οΈβ£ Body systems working together
Cells form tissues, tissues form organs, and organs form systems:
- Digestive system π
- Respiratory system π¬οΈ
- Circulatory system β€οΈ
- Nervous system π§
- Skeletal system π¦΄
All systems work together like a team π€
π Fun facts for kids
- Your skin replaces itself every few weeks!
- Your bones are stronger than steel (for their size)
- Your body has more cells than stars in our galaxy π
π§ Easy way to remember
Cells β tissues β organs β body systems β YOU
π One-line summary
The human body is made of cells, mostly water, and elements like oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen working together.
