The composition of the human body is expressed in terms of chemicals: 1  Water. 2  Proteins â including those of hair, connective tissue, etc. 3  Fats (or lipids) 4  Hydroxylapatite in bones. 5  Carbohydrates such as glycogen and glucose. 6  DNA. 7  Dissolved inorganic ions such as sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, phosphate.
Almost 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about 0.85% is composed of another five elements: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium. All 11 are necessary for life. The remaining elements are trace elements, of which more than a dozen are thought on the basis of good evidence to be
