The human body is made up of the head, the trunk, the upper extremities (arms) and the lower extremities (legs). Regarding its main chemical elements, it can be highlighted hydrogen (63%) and oxygen (25%).
Although all human beings have the same members, it is interesting to note that there are classifications about the shape of bodies. Thus, for example, we talk about rectangular bodies that are those that have an identical shoulder size to that of the waist, that is, they are straight bodies, without curves.
In the same way there are also the guitar-shaped bodies that are those that are identified by narrow waists and shoulders and hips of identical measures. Nor can we forget the pear-shaped bodies, so-called because, as with this fruit, they have a narrower upper part than the lower part. That is, women who have a pear body are those who have very wide hips.
The oval-shaped body, which is identified by a wide waist, and the inverted triangle body are other of the existing classifications to define the various types of human bodies. Specifically, the last one cited is defined by the fact that they are people who have very wide backs and a very narrow waist and hips. A perfect example of this type of shape is that of swimmers.
It is possible to distinguish between different hierarchical levels in the human body. In this way, we find the molecules, which make up the cells. These form tissues, which, in turn, give rise to the organs. The organs are organized in systems (such as the Central Nervous System and others). There are different sciences in charge of studying the human body. Physiology studies functions, anatomy deals with macroscopic structures, and anthropometry deals with body measurements and proportions.
It should be noted that the word body is used as a synonym for corpse, that is, a dead human being. Nor can we ignore the fact that within the artistic world there is also talk of the dance corps. With him comes to refer to the set of dancers who shape a company or a specific work. In another sense, the concept of body appears in the military sphere to refer to the unity of the army made up of various divisions that act together and under the same command. Army corps are usually made up of between 20,000 and 50,000 soldiers. One of the most famous bodies is the Eurobody, which is at the service of the European Union and NATO.
