The heaviest part of your body is your skeleton.

The skeleton consists of bones and cartilage and often accounts for around 14 percent of your total body weight.

Other factors can also influence the weight distribution of your body like muscle mass, fat distribution and organs.

Some organs in the body like the skin and liver can be pretty heavy.

And fat tissue is lighter than your bone or muscle, so people with higher body fat percentages might have a heavier abdomen or even a heavier buttocks.

And people with more muscle mass will often have heavier limbs and a heavier torso.

The heaviest limb of the body is the femur.

The femur is the heaviest, longest and strongest human bone in the body.

And at the proximal end, the pyramid shaped neck attaches the spherical head at the apex and the cylindrical shaft at the base.

The head is also one of the heaviest parts of the body which can weigh between 5.1 lbs to 11 lbs.

Over 98 percent of humans have a head that weighs between 5.1 lbs to 11 lbs although some humans have abnormally small or abnormally large heads.
