What is the heaviest organ in human body?

Correct answer: B. Skin

  • A. Liver
  • B. Skin
  • C. Intestine
  • D. Brain

Explanation

The skin is generally regarded as the heaviest organ of the human body, with its mass including the epidermis, dermis and associated tissues. The liver is the heaviest internal organ, but it weighs less than the entire skin. Students may choose liver because it is the largest internal gland and organ, confusing internal-organ size with total organ mass.
