Learn English – Hypernym for human organs, body parts, etc

hypernymssingle-word-requests

I'd like to find a hypernym for human organs such as liver and lung, body parts such as left upper arm, piece of muscle such as biceps, and other systems such as human body fat, body fluids. Is there a proper word I can use to refer to these?

Edit: How about just "anatomical component"?

Best Answer

I wonder what's wrong with body parts. That phrase can be used for:

Major parts of the body (arms, legs, head, torso, etc.)
Internal organs (heart, liver, intestine, pancreas, etc.)
Skeletal and circulatory components (muscles, bones, arteries, capillaries, etc.)
Parts of the face (eyes, ears, lips, tongue, etc.)

All of these can be (and sometimes are) referred to as body parts.
