I’m not sure which “body” you mean, so here’s a general list of the major life processes that occur in a living body (especially animals and humans), with a short definition and a human example for each:
1. Nutrition — obtaining and processing food for energy and building materials (e.g., eating, digestion, absorption).
2. Respiration — releasing energy from food (e.g., cellular respiration in mitochondria using oxygen).
3. Excretion — removing metabolic wastes (e.g., urine formation by kidneys, CO2 exhalation).
4. Growth — increase in size and number of cells (e.g., childhood and tissue repair).
5. Reproduction — producing new individuals or cells (e.g., sexual reproduction; cell division for tissue renewal).
6. Movement (or locomotion) — changing position or internal movement of parts (e.g., walking, muscle contraction, cytoplasmic streaming).
7. Sensitivity (or response) — detecting and reacting to stimuli (e.g., nerves sensing heat and triggering withdrawal).
8. Regulation (homeostasis) — maintaining a stable internal environment (e.g., temperature, pH, blood glucose control).
If you meant a specific type of body (plant, bacterial, human, or a particular physiological system), tell me which and I’ll tailor the list and examples.
