{{other uses|Body (disambiguation)}}With regard to
living things, a
body is the
physical body of an individual. "Body" often is used in connection with
appearance,
health issues and
death. The study of the workings of the body is
physiology.
Human body
The human body mostly consists of a
head,
neck,
torso, two
arms and two
legs, as well as numerous internal organ groups such as respiratory, circulatory and a central nervous system.
Variations
{{redirect|Carcase||Carcass (disambiguation)}}The dead body of a
human is referred to as a
cadaver, or corpse. The dead bodies of
vertebrate animals,
insects and humans are sometimes called
carcasses. The study of the structure of the body is called
anatomy. A
carcase is the body of a slaughtered animal, after the removal of offal, that is to be used as
meat.
(1)Antonym
In the views emerging from the
mind-body dichotomy, the body is considered in
behavior and therefore considered as little valued
(2) and trivial in comparison to mind,
spirit or
soul.
Materialist philosophers of mind maintain that the mind is not something separate from the body, but is produced by physiological functions of the
brain.
