Skin is our largest organ. If the skin of a typical 150 pound adult male were stretched out flat it would cover about 2 square yards and weigh about 9 pounds.Our skin protects the network of muscles, bones, nerves, blood vessels, and everything else inside our bodies. Our eyelids have the thinnest skin, the soles of our feet the thickest.
