Single word for generic human "body parts"
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.
Body parts in general are the members of the body. Parts which are distant from the torso are extremities. For example,
In the near future, we may be able to print the members of the body.
and
The cyborgs were in various states of disrepair, with mechanical extremities lying everywhere.
The word tissue is the technical term for organic body parts, and covers all parts, from eyes to bones; and it can include blood.
Any of the distinct types of material of which animals or plants are made, consisting of specialized cells and their products:
inflammation is a reaction of living tissue to infection or injury[ODO]
Biol. The substance, structure, or texture of which an animal or plant body, or any part or organ of it, is composed; esp. any one of the various structures, each consisting of an aggregation of similar cells or modifications of cells, which make up the organism.
a. in animals.
The chief forms of tissue in the higher animals are the epithelial (incl. glandular), connective (incl. cartilaginous and osseous), muscular, and nervous tissues. (The term is sometimes extended to include the blood as a ‘fluid tissue’.)[OED]
Tissue does not include inorganic cyborg parts as these are not cellular.
