Learn English – Single word for generic human “body parts”

single-word-requests

Is there a single word that can be used to indicate generic human (or animal) body parts? Just using the word "parts" without context sounds mechanical and inorganic. Ideally, the word would delineate between mechanical and organic "parts" without additional context; additionally, the word should be all inclusive (i.e. organs doesn't work because it only indicates internal body parts).

Some example sentences to illustrate how the word might be used:
– In the near future, we may be able to print organic body parts
Body parts were blown everywhere by the explosion.
– The cyborgs were in various states of disrepair, with organic body parts lying everywhere.
