There are many, many elements in the human body, the most common of which is Carbon, as we are carbon based life forms. There is also a lot of oxygen present in the form of oxides, and other elements such as iron in haemoglobin (present in blood) and phosphorus in DNA.

The human body contains many chemical elements, including hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, which in their pure form are gases (at normal temperature and pressure). However, these elements are present in the human body in the form of compounds which are either solid or liquid; no part of the human body is actually made of gas.
The human body is composed of approximately 60 different chemical elements, with the most abundant being oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen. However, all known stable and radioactive elements have been detected in trace amounts in the human body.
The body contains 27 elements
According to the Wikipedia entry on Chemical makeup of the human body there are about 60 elements present, although some of them are not present to more than a few dozen micrograms. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_makeup_of_the_human_body As to the question why there are not more, there is no definitive answer.
All the macromolecules in the human body are basically Carbon covalently bonded to other elements- mostly Hydrogen, Oxygen and other carbon atoms. There are other elements, but they don't appear in all of the body's macromolecules.It is Carbon.
There are trillions of good bacteria present in the human body.
The smallest enzyme present in the human body is probably Triosephosphate isomerase.
