Average Weight of Human Head
I couldn't find any references for this online, so I asked around my
workplace (the Department of Anatomy & Histology, University of Sydney). The most
convincing response came from the service room where the technical officers
actually cut up the bodies:
"An adult human cadaver head cut off around vertebra C3, with no hair, weighs somewhere between 4.5 and 5 kg, constituting around 8% of the whole body mass."
