What is the second largest organ in the human body?

I would say that they are all important and all hold the same necessity. for example of the kindeys begin to fail then a toxic build up would occur, this would effect the cardiovascular system (CVS) which would transport the waste all over the body. likewise if something happened to the liver food wouldn't break down properly, jaundice would occur, the digested food wouldn't break down properly and proteins would be deficient along with minerals and nutrients. each organ is linked to the others via the CVS which produce hormones to create a balance and homeostasis. the only organ which i would assume is not neccasary is maybe the 2nd kidney as long as the first one is ok lol
