I'm missing so many obviously heavier organs like: bladder, uterus, eggstocks, stomach, (any part of) intestinal organs, not to mention the reporductive organs.
I'm curious about your source. I'm certainly no expert but I would have assumed the intestines would make it on the list. I did a quick google search but couldn't find a good answer. Is there an issue with measuring the intestines and stomach due to their role in processing food?
Small intestine, large intestine, stomach, gallbladder, the mesentery, the greater omentum, bladder, uterus, *placenta... all larger than thyroid and prostate. Even the testes, oesophagus and trachea are all larger in mass than the prostate!
Also, the skin weighs only about 3kg, not almost 11.
