I don't know who the *** is that's said that many of these answers aren't worth reading about but please ignore them. I hate bad raters. I've just gone through and given some good ratings because they actually say reasonable things that are true.
We are carbon based life forms, we are mostly made of water, but our cell membranes are made of phospholipids, carbohydrates, which are saccharide molecules, and proteins. DNA is made of nucleotides, with all sorts of molecules in there, like phosphates and whatever goes into bases. We have a lot of carbon, hydrogen, phosphorous, oxygen, water (which is just hydrogen and oxygen), nitrogen, sodium, potassium, calcium and so on inside of our bodies. We actually have enough oxygen inside our bodies to make us simultaneously combust.
Also DNA doesn't actually make up that much of our bodies. It's a very small percentage that I can't quite remember.
And just for the record, to add to Nitin's answer, the mussels he's on about live on the seashore, he actually means muscles. Also blood is not a liquid, plasma is a liquid, blood is a suspension, containing white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets, plasma and more.

Human beings are arguably the most complex organisms on this planet. Imagine billions of microscopic parts, each with its own identity, working together in an organized manner for the benefit of the total being. The human body is a single structure but it is made up of billions of smaller structures of four major kinds:
Cells
Cells have long been recognized as the simplest units of living matter that can maintain life and reproduce themselves. The human body, which is made up of numerous cells, begins as a single, newly fertilized cell.
Tissues
Tissues are somewhat more complex units than cells. By definition, a tissue is an organization of a great many similar cells with varying amounts and kinds of nonliving, intercellular substance between them.
Organs
Organs are more complex units than tissues. An organ is an organization of several different kinds of tissues so arranged that together they can perform a special function. For example, the stomach is an organization of muscle, connective, epithelial, and nervous tissues. Muscle and connective tissues form its wall, epithelial and connective tissues form its lining, and nervous tissue extends throughout both its wall and its lining.
Systems
Systems are the most complex of the component units of the human body. A system is an organization of varying numbers and kinds of organs so arranged that together they can perform complex functions for the body. Ten major systems compose the human body:
Skeletal
Muscular
Nervous
Endocrine
Cardiovascular
Lymphatic
Respiratory
Digestive
Urinary
Reproductive

The human body is mostly made out of the elements Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen, with a few other needed elements aswell such as Nitrogen and Calcium.
These elements all join up in various ways to form proteins, carbohydrates and fats and cells are made up of these. All these cells join together to form a human.
There, a quick answer.

A mutation that worked. Imperfections that worked. Dolphins can't see under water but perfectly on land: our eyes are perfect for light waves in the atmosphere, not water. Our fingers are no longer webbed (underwater mammals have similar finger bones, but no ability to use them since the hands are webbed. We are a bunch of mistakes that ended up being absolutely perfect for what we were meant to do.

many important organisms,tissue's, cells, and so on. the bases of life is the expression of protein with out such things as enzymes and chemicals and amino acid's our body's would close down within minutes. The common explanation is 75% water plus oxygen, carbon, calcium, minerals & vitimins

The body is made of 78% water and liquids, 11% skin,10% bones. If we took our skin and bones out,wll we would be is a pile of goo!

water, blood, skeleton - bones, muscle and structures such as ligaments and tendons. Cells. Blood vessels, organs, and that's about it.
