What are the elements present in human body system? State also its function.?

Answer 1

Just about all the naturally occurring elements are found in the human body ranging from those found in large quantities such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorous and calcium to those found in smaller or trace amounts such as Iron, Iodine, magnesium and even gold.

Some of these smaller trace elements may simply be present as pollutants (and some are toxic in anything other than the tiniest amounts), naturally ingested from our environment and may not play any specific function. Others such as Iron have specific important uses (Iron, for example is vital for the transportation of oxygen around the body in the blood).

Many of the common elements such as carbon, hydrogen and oxygen fulfil so many functions that it would take a series of books to describe them all. Carbon is the basis of all organic chemistry and its functions in the human body are numerous but it is best described as the "structural backbone" of organic molecules with are vital to just about all bodily structures, systems and functions.

Answer 2

first up is Carbon, we are after all carbon based.
Function.....hmmmm...it think its got to do with carbon being able to form chains, thus enabling macromolecules.

Another element is Iron (Fe), its what makes our blood red. Function..hmmm i dont know.

Ofcourse Calcium. Its in our bones.

Hydrogen and oxygen in the form of water..
Air we breathe= nitrogen, oxygen, trace gases, polutants

Answer 3

1. It is the medium in which many chemical reactions in our body take place. Many reactions need to take place in solution, water is the solvent that lets it happen. 2. It is the main component of blood, which can be pumped around the body to supply oxygen, nutrients, etc.

Answer 4

carbon, oxygen..the basic building blocks of all life forms
