The lanthanides are a series of elements that are placed at the bottom of the periodic table. They are located in the f-block, specifically in the period below the main body of the periodic table. The lanthanides have atomic numbers 57-71.
The most abundant elements in the human body are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorous, sulfur, calcium, sodium, potassium, chlorine (don't forget, table salt is sodium chloride!) and iron. There are many others that are present in smaller quantities including copper, zinc, iodine, etc.

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

Assuming the question pertains to table salt (sodium chloride), a human body contains approximately 0.15 percent by weight chlorine and 0.15 percent by weight sodium. This means that a 70-kilogram human (150 pounds) will contain 0.095 kilograms, or 95 grams, of each of the elements in table salt. The constituents of common table salt exist as separate ions in the human body, and if we could remove them and reconstitute them into table salt, they would make up about 8 tablespoons of salt for a 150 pound person.
Elements in the human body which are considered trace elements are:Lithium - LiStrontium - SrAluminium - AlSilicon - SiLead - PbVanadium - VBromine - BrArsenic - As
From what I understand (no formal training) the 'Periodic table' is a list of the basic building blocks of everything around us or 'Elements'. Everything is comprised or made of one or more of these elements. For instance gold (on the 'P' table) cannot be broken down into anything else, or magnesium or carbon, which is one of the elements the human body is made of.
These elements exist as compounds.
