is skin or a hand larger?
99108
Consider that the skin covers the hand and the whole body. Which do YOU think is bigger, your body or your hand?\n\nI hope you realize the correct answer is SKIN.

It IS the liver.  Your skin is an organ but it is on the outside of your body.  The question specifically asks for the largest organ IN your body.

One one hand, yes. But on the other hand it's even smaller.

You probably have a good sense of where you fit in the distribution of size for \nmore commonly visible measurements of body size: height, size of hands, feet, \nweight and so on. However, unless you spend a lot of time in a nudist \nenvironment, there are, understandably other measurements for which you don’t \nhave a good sense of where you fit. Penis size is an obvious example. It’s also \none that can make a lot of people uncomfortable. They worry about whether they \nare abnormal, “too small,” “too large,” and so on. As with most characteristics \nof human anatomy, there is a lot of individual variation. You can differ \nsubstantially from average without being unusual or freakish and without any \nneed for concern or medical intervention. If you have concerns, by all means \nconsult a doctor, but chances are good that you have nothing to worry about.\n\nOn the other hand, there is always a fascination with people who are \nsignificantly different for the normal range. This applies to height and \nweight, size of hands and feet, and, yes, also to penis size. So what \nis “normal”? Surprisingly, perhaps, given how common concerns about penis size \nseem to be, there are very little good data based on large samples. There are \ndata, though, and the numbers seem to agree well enough to suggest that the \nsample size must be large enough to give reasonably accurate measures of \naverages and distributions. A good summary of recent data can be found at \nAverage-Penis.com:\n\nhttp://www.average-penis.com/\n\nThere are additional links there to other studies as well.\n\nThe average length of an erect penis (measured along the top) is 16.1 cm (6.34 \nin).\n90% of measurements fall between 10 and 21 cm (4 and 8.25 in).\nThe average girth of an erect penis is 12.3 cm (4.84 in).\nThe average length of the flaccid penis is about 9 cm (3.5 in) with most \nmeasurements falling between 5 cm (2 in) and 12.5 cm  (5 in).\n\nThese numbers appear to be approximately independent of such parameters as age \n(post-puberty) and nationality despite any anecdotal information you may have \nheard to the contrary, though reliable data on such variations is quite limited.\n\nYou can decide what “big” is, but just as you probably wouldn’t particularly \nlabel someone as “tall” unless they were in the top few percent, you probably \nwouldn’t want to label someone’s penis as “big” unless it was larger than the \nnormal ranges quoted above (greater than 21 cm erect length, 12.5 cm flaccid \nlength). There also appears to be a large variability in the ratio of the erect \nlength to flaccid length. Average is about 1.8, but ratios from about 1 to 4 \nare not uncommon.\n\nYou can turn up a lot of additional reading material on this subject with a \nGoogle search on:\n\nAverage penis size\n\nAnd if you are concerned about appearance, you might also want to look at the \nPenis size page,\n\nhttp://www.penis-size-page.com\n\nThis site has many pictures of both average and more unusual penises that you \ncan compare to your own.\n\nI hope this information helps you to better understand what is “normal” \nand “big.” Again, if you have concerns, consult your doctor. You may also see \nmany advertisements for companies that claim to help you increase penis size. I \nwould caution you against considering their services because of questionable \nefficacy in many cases, and because it is unlikely that there is any real \nreason why you should need to change your size.

very good question if you ask me.\n\nprobably has something to do with perspective. Things that are closer to you appear larger, while things that are further away seem smaller... figuritively, of course...

Skin.\n\nIf you're talking about raw, physical size, then it's around everything else.  Largest!\n\nIf you're talking about weight, it accounts for about 15% of the total body mass, more than any other organ.  Largest!\n\nIf you're talking about surace area, it's about two square metres in size.  Largest!\n\nThough I should say that's just an AVERAGE human.  I seem to recall a case of a woman in Texas who had a sixty pound tumor in her gut.  Totally benign, but it just kept getting bigger and bigger.  She thought she was just gaining weight...

Skin has several layers.  All skin has an outer layer called the stratum corneum which is composed of multiple layers of flattened, dead, interlocking keratinocytes (a type of skin cell with karatin).  Thick skin such as on the palms of the hands or the soles of the feet can have 30 or more layers of these cells.  Thick skin also has an extra layer called the stratum lucidum that looks glassy.  This layer has flattened, densely packed cells.  Most of the body is covered in thin skin.  Areas like under the eye where the skin is very thin just have thinner layers than other areas on your face.  All 4 layers normally present in thin skin are still there.

hair actually covers all the body surface, except for palm of hands, sole of feet, eyes, lip/mouth, and nails.  Some of hairs on our body may be very small or thin for us to realize.

The palms have different kind of cells compared to those in the back of the hand. The palm has all these fine lines that make gripping an object easier, hair would not have helped that much I think.Plus I guess its an evolutionary thing - imagine the hair in your palms getting pulled at when you do thing! Oww.

Junk ideas foisted off on us guys is that somehow we might be able to make it bigger. There is no way. Can you make your finger bigger, or your nose? So also, common sense wins out. Again, think for yourself.\n\nAll of us guys know already how to handle it.\n\nThe average size is about 5 inches. If you stretch your hand, the distance from the tip of your index finger to the tip of your thumb is the length of your private part. This is the way it is.

No, that's just a myth.  No amount of cracking them is going to make them larger.  I've cracked mine for years and still have small hands and knuckles.  I have read that there are negative repercussions in the long run though not related to making them larger.  I'd try to make an effort not to crack them.

Three. You have to allow for some wiggle room (pardon the pun) when it comes to finger size and a person's body structure (Some are just built a little loose, for real).

Midgets are small all over.  They have the same dimensions as 'normal' folk, proportionally.  Dwarfs may have small hands but 'normal' feet... or something like that.
