FACTS ABOUT MUSCLE

-Make up 40% of total body weight
-The smallest muscle,like the smallest bones,are found in the middle ear,some of these are tensor tympani(connected to the eardrum)and to the stapedius.

Biceps-The bicep Brachii is a bi-articular muscle,which means that it helps control the motion of the different joints


Triceps-The triceps is an extensor muscle of the elbow joint and an antagonist of the biceps and brachialis and brachialis muscles



Gluteus maximus-The gluteus maximus muscle is responsible for movement of the hip and thigh. 


Abdominal-They assist in the breathing process as accessory muscles of respiration. Moreover, these muscles serve as protection for the inner organs.


 Quadriceps-All four quadriceps are powerful extensors of the knee joint.


Deltoid-The deltoid has three distinct functions that correspond to the three bands of muscle fibers.


Trapezius-Its functions are to move the scapulae and support the arm.


Gastrocnemius-Function. Along with the soleus muscle, the gastrocnemius forms half of the calf muscle. Its function is plantar flexing the foot at the ankle joint and flexing the leg at the knee joint.
