Helium, is not oxygen, and as such a large presences of helium in the body can asphyxiate and cause death.
Yes, helium can be found in trace amounts in the human body, primarily in the lungs and bloodstream. However, the concentration of helium in the body is very low and is not considered harmful to health.
Helium is not inherently bad for us, but inhaling pure helium can be harmful because it displaces oxygen in our lungs, leading to asphyxiation. Inhaling helium from balloons or other containers can be risky and should be avoided.
Helium has 2 protons, 2 neutrons and 2 electrons. The symbol for helium is He and the atomic number is 2.
Helium is a non-toxic, non-reactive gas, so it does not pose significant hazards to human health. However, inhaling helium can displace oxygen in the lungs, leading to suffocation. Additionally, helium is a simple asphyxiant and can cause dizziness, headaches, or unconsciousness if inhaled in large quantities in enclosed spaces.
Common compounds for helium include helium-3 (He-3) and helium-4 (He-4), which are isotopes of helium. Helium is typically chemically inert and does not readily form compounds with other elements under normal conditions.
Helium is a gas and is not found in the body
No, human body doesn't float on helium as it is light.
Traces of helium might be found in the body under some circumstances, but as helium is an inert gas, it isn't found in any compounds in the body. Helium certainly isn't necessary for life. The presence of helium in the body may only occur when we breathe some helium and it is taken up in the blood and diffuses into tissues. Even then, the helium exists as single atoms of this noble gas, and it will diffuse out of the body given a chance to do so.

Your body does not need helium. Helium is an inert gas, and it is not found as a "building block" of any organic material, or any other materials for that matter.
I'm personally not running out of helium. In fact helium is harmful to the human body in large doses. So no helium would not affect me.
No, helium kills your brain cells and damages other parts of your body.
Although helium gas is not toxic but it can cause asphyxiation by blocking the body access to oxygen.
Helium isn't toxic to the body but does deprive it of needed oxygen. By inhaling Helium you are actually pulling oxygen out of the body and can be potentially dangerous if oxygen isn't reintroduced. As the related link states, sucking it in from a Helium balloon won't kill you. You might just get light-headed or pass out (don't hit your head). Inhaling it from a tank or climbing into a giant Helium balloon is extremely dangerous and there are fatal cases.
It is not possible to survive by replacing oxygen with helium. The body cannot use helium for cellular respiration and would very quickly suffocate. The chemical processes involved in cellular respiration would not work with helium, so there is no way to adapt your body to do this.
Helium is named after the Greek god of the Sun, Helios.
helium was not invented. the first helium formed within seconds of the decoupling of the black body radiation from matter after the big bang. after that until stars formed the entire periodic table had only two elements.
