Which are the record-breakers muscles?

Although you may not be aware of them, some muscles stand out from the rest. Meet the muscles breaking records in your body.

Strongest muscle

There are different contenders for this title, depending on how you define “strong”. But the muscle that exerts the greatest force is probably the soleus (calf muscle).

Longest muscle

The sartorious is the longest muscle in the human body. This superficial skeletal muscle runs the length of the thigh.

Largest muscle

The gluteus maximus is the biggest muscle. It covers most of the buttocks and helps the body stand up.

Smallest muscle

The stapedius is the smallest muscle. Only about 1 mm (0.04 in) long, it is found inside the ear.
