How much weight did you know Human Skin?

Skin
Brain or lungs are the organs that much the center of attention. But what about the skin, do you know how much it weighs?
The skin consists of three layers. Namely epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue. The thickness of the skin varies throughout the body. For example, delicate skin around the eyes is only as thick as a few sheets of paper and a knee in the leg just as thick as a pencil eraser.
Thinking about the different characteristics of the skin in many areas, but the skin is an organ and not all skins 'fleshy'. As an organ, the skin wraps the human body, including the nails and hair. In total, approximately 16% of total body weight is skin.
Most skin adult weighing 10 kg or more. Surely leather weight varies depending on the owner, the skinny one, the light weight of the skin. If the average adult skin stretched, the skin is able to cover two square meters.
After the skin is the heaviest organ intestine (3.75 kg), lung (2.5 kg), liver (1.6 kg), brain (1.5 kg) and heart (0.3 kg)
