Elements in the Human Body. Six elements account for 99% of the mass of the human body. The acronym CHNOPS may be used to help remember the six key chemical elements that are used in biological molecules. C is carbon, H is hydrogen, N is nitrogen, O is oxygen, P is phosphorus, and S is sulfur.

The anatomical regions (shown) compartmentalize the human body. Just like on a map, a region refers to a certain area. The body is divided into two major portions: axial and appendicular.

The axial body runs right down the center (axis) and consists of everything except the limbs, meaning the head, neck, thorax (chest and back), abdomen, and pelvis. The appendicular body consists of appendages, otherwise known as upper and lower extremities (which you call arms and legs).

Here’s a list of the axial body’s main regions:

• Head and neck
  • Cephalic (head)
  • Cervical (neck)
  • Cranial (skull)
  • Frontal (forehead)
  • Nasal (nose)
  • Occipital (base of skull)
  • Oral (mouth)
  • Orbital/ocular (eyes)
• Thorax
  • Axillary (armpit)
  • Costal (ribs)
  • Deltoid (shoulder)
  • Mammary (breast)
  • Pectoral (chest)
  • Scapular (shoulder blade)
  • Sternal (breastbone)
  • Vertebral (backbone)
• Abdomen
  • Abdominal (abdomen)
  • Gluteal (buttocks)
  • Inguinal (bend of hip)
  • Lumbar (lower back)
  • Pelvic (area between hipbones)
  • Perineal (area between anus and external genitalia)
  • Pubic (genitals)
  • Sacral (end of vertebral column)

Here’s a list of the appendicular body’s main regions:
