The cell is the basic structural unit of any living organism. One cell can be the entire organism, as with the amoeba, or millions of cells functioning together can constitute a single organism as in a human being.
Specialized cells come together to form tissue, groups of tissue come together to form organs, organs work together to make a working organ system, and a few different organ systems is what makes up us humans.
Cells -> tissue -> organ -> organ system -> organism
That organism can also be any other animal. For plants, they have different organs because plants are very different. Plants are producers and we are consumers, so obviously we can't be made of the same stuff.
But since you said "body," I take it you're talking about animals.
Cells are smallest, tissue next-smallest, then organ, then organ system, and the organism level is the largest.
Osteons are the structural unit of a bone. They make up the haversian system which contains the haversian canals. These are a series of tubes around narrow channels formed by lamellae.

cell
What name is given to the basic units of which all living things are composed?
Cells.
saccharide units>>> sugars
Most fungi are mulitcellular. The basic structural units of multicellular fungi are threadlike filaments called hyphae, which develop from fungal spores.
The basic structural and functional units of organisms are cells.
The cell. An organism can be composed of one or many cells. Cells are composed of organelles, but organelles cannot function alone (with exceptions).

What name is given to the basic units of which all living things are composed?
Cells are the basic structural and functional units of an organisms which are formed from preexisting cells.
No, cells are the most basic living structural units.
Amino acids are the basic structural building units of proteins.
Cells.
saccharide units>>> sugars
The particles in most solids from structural units called crystals. Crystals are a solid substance that have a geometrically shaped form.
Most fungi are mulitcellular. The basic structural units of multicellular fungi are threadlike filaments called hyphae, which develop from fungal spores.
