Document Summary

Body composition relative proportion of different components that make up the human body. There are many models through which to look at body composition. Tissue model - the body is comprised of four main tissue types, nervous, Epithelial tissues- skin, linings of gi and other hollow organs. Several tissue types work together to comprise each organ. Structural model - the main structural components of the body are bone, fat and muscle. The relative proportion of these components varies with gender, genetics, age and lifestyle and can be indicative of overall health and fitness. Two-component model - the amount of fat and fat-free mass of which the body is composed. Fat-free mass is primarily composed of bone, muscle, vital organs, and connective tissue. Chemical model - fat, protein, carbohydrates, mineral, water. Anthropometry quantitative measurement of body size and proportions, for purposes of understanding human physical variation and body composition.
