The same is true of excretable substances, such as Stool , both while residing in the body and afterwards.
Plant s composed of more than one Cell are not normally regarded as possessing a body.

The body of a dead person is also called a corpse, for Human s, or cadaver.
The dead bodies of Vertebrate animals and Insect s are sometimes called carcasses. The study of the structure of the body is called Anatomy . The study of the workings of the body is Physiology . The Human Body most of the time consists of a Head , Neck , Torso , two Arm s and two Legs . A body is also a held-together collection or group of physical objects or abstract ideas and, in particular, an organization of such.
