The metric unit for measuring human weight is actually the Newton (N). Newton's are a measure of force and weight is the product of the acceleration of gravity and an objects mass. The metric unit for measuring human mass is the kilogram (kg).
the metric system
The system of measurement based on referents in nature and not human body parts is the metric system. This system uses universal constants such as the speed of light or the mass of an atom to define units of measurement like the meter or the kilogram.
The average weight for a healthy, human kidney is 120-140 grams. 1 pound= 453.59237 grams. So, the average weight for a healthy, human kidney is 0.26-0.30 pounds. (approx.)
Assuming it is their lengths that you want to measure, centimetres for your feet and millimetres for your toes. +++ I would advise consistency - use one or the other but not both. Mixing them like that is not good practice, and you won't find such mixtures used in laboratories and workshops. ' Strictly speaking the metre and the millimetre are the "Preferred Units" but the SI tolerates the centimetre for everyday things like clothes sizes. Please don't shoot the messenger: the metric system and its SI offspring were never designed around human proportions!
Use a measuring tape, and then google a BMI calculator so you know what part of your body to measure :)
the metric system
Every country in the world has adopted the Metric System except for Liberia, Myanmar and the U.S.A. A number of countries, including Canada and the United Kingdom, use Imperial for some things. For instance, Canada measures human heights and cooking ingredients using Imperial measure. Britain measures human weight in stone (which is even more antiquated than the American standards of measurement) and road distances in miles.
Feet and inches. Even in countries where the metric system is used for most measures of distance and weight, like Australia and the United Kingdom, feet and inches are commonly used to measure human height because people find them more intuitive and easier to estimate.

-- Measure the human's weight on a bathroom scale near the earth's surface. -- Divide her weight by the acceleration of gravity.
Unlike the units of the Metric System, which only a machine could love, the inch and the foot, the span and the yard are based on measurements of the human body. An inch is roughly the length of an adult human's finger joint.

There are several ways to measure the human brain: weight (about 3 pounds), volume, intelligence.
Candela (symbol: cd) represents luminosity, the intensity of emitted light. It's not a metric symbol, but a photometric symbol.
