Strongest Muscle in Human Body
Doodlebrary
- The strongest muscle in the human body is often considered to be the masseter muscle.
- The masseter is a jaw muscle responsible for the closing of the jaw and the forceful grinding of the teeth during chewing.
- It is capable of exerting an immense amount of force, sometimes up to 200 pounds (90 kilograms) on the molars.
- However, it’s important to note that strength can be defined and measured in different ways, and there are other muscles in the body that may exhibit greater force in specific contexts, such as the quadriceps in the legs or the gluteus maximus in the buttocks.
