{{other uses|Body (disambiguation)}}
With regard to [[organism|living things]], a '''body''' is the integral physical material 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==
{{Main|Human body}}
The human body mostly consists of a [[head (anatomy)|head]], [[neck]], [[torso]], two [[arm]]s and two [[Human leg|legs]].
==Limitation==
In some contexts, a superficial element of a body, such as [[hair]] may be regarded as not a part of it, even while attached. The same is true of excretable substances, such as [[feces|stool]], both while residing in the body and afterwards.
[[Plant]]s composed of more than one [[cell (biology)|cell]] are not normally regarded as possessing a body.
==Variations==
The body of a dead person is also called a corpse, for [[human]]s, or cadaver.
The dead bodies of [[vertebrate]] animals, [[insect]]s and humans are sometimes called [[carcass|''carcasses'']]. The study of the structure of the body is called [[human anatomy|anatomy]].
==Antonym==
In the views emerging from the [[mind-body dichotomy]], the body is considered in [[behavior]] and therefore considered as little valued<ref name="Young">''[http://human-nature.com/rmyoung/papers/pap102h.html The mind-body problem]'' by Robert M. Young</ref> and trivial. Many modern philosophers of mind maintain that the mind is not something separate from the body.<ref name="Kim1">{{cite book
