I could copy the answer, but I have some good links instead. \nSkeletal muscle fibers are multinucleated and fusiform, and basically contain myofibrills. See details at the link:\nhttp://training.seer.cancer.gov/module_anatomy/unit4_2_muscle_structure.html\n\nPay special attention to the myofibrils, the mitochondria and the sarcoplasmic reticulum :-)\n\nIllustrations of structure at different levels (I wish these pictures had been around years ago when I studied this!):\nhttp://www.agen.ufl.edu/~chyn/age2062/lect/lect_19/179.gif\nhttp://www.mhhe.com/biosci/esp/2001_gbio/folder_structure/an/m5/s5/assets/images/anm5s5_1.jpg

All human tissue and body parts are made of cells. They are the building blocks of all living creatures.

No, the human body is a very large collection of atoms, the cells are made up of all sorts of things taht each could be divided into smaller things and that on the other hand maybe can bedivided into smaller things until you find that all that is left is atoms.

There are all kinds of definitions for strongest...\nMuscular "strength" usually refers to the ability to exert a force on an external object—for example, lifting a weight. By this definition, the masseter or jaw muscle is the strongest.  \n\nIf "strength" refers to the force exerted by the muscle itself, the strongest muscle of the body is usually said to be the Quadriceps femoris or the Gluteus maximus.\n\nAgain taking strength to mean only "force" (in the physicist's sense, and as contrasted with "energy" or "power"), then a shorter muscle will be stronger "pound for pound" (i.e., by weight) than a longer muscle. The uterus may be the strongest muscle by weight in the human body.\n\nIt is frequently said the eyeball muscles are "the strongest muscles for the job they have to do".\n\nThe tongue may possibly be the strongest muscle at birth.\n\nThe heart has a claim to being the muscle that performs the largest quantity of physical work in the course of a lifetime.\n\nSo what answer were you looking for?  lol

Actually, the tongue is the strongest muscle in the body and each and every person, regardless of race, has the maximum flexibility of that muscle so long as they use it. Learning languages has more to do with HEARING than it does with the tongue. Age has more to do with the ease of learning a new language than anything else. Children under the age of 4 can learn 10 or more languages AT ONCE. Teenagers can learn 2 to 3 at one time. Adults are hard pressed to learn more than one at a given time.

At birth the human body has about 350 bones, but by the time adulthood arrives, some of the bones have fused together to give us a total of 206 bones in an adult body.

The total relative length of all the viens put together in a human body is between 60,000 -100,000 miles.

Depends on your height, muscle mass, etc.\nCan't possibly answer without more info.

Yeah !\nA Human Being !\n4 legs as an infant (Crawling on all 4),\n2 Legs as an Adult.\n3 Legs when he is Old with a walking stick(as the 3rd leg)

At birth the human body has about 350 bones, but by the time adulthood rolls around, some of our bones have fused together to give us a total of 206 bones in our body!\n\nHere is the breakdown:\n\nThe adult skeleton consists of 206 bones . . .\n\n- 28 skull bones (8 cranial, 14 facial, and 6 ear bones);\n\n- the horseshoe-shaped hyoid bone of the neck;\n\n- 26 vertebrae (7 cervical or neck, 12 thorax, 5 lumbar or loins, the sacrum which is five fused vertebrae, and the coccyx, our vestigial tail, which is four fused vertebrae);\n\n- 24 ribs plus the sternum or breastbone; the shoulder girdle (2 clavicles, the most frequently fractured bone in the body, and 2 scapulae);\n\n- the pelvic girdle (2 fused bones);\n\n- 30 bones in our arms and legs (a total of 120);\n\n- There are also a few partial bones, ranging from 8-18 in number, which are related to joints.

An adult has about five million hair follicles,far less than other mammals.  One fifth of this is on the head which also is  the longest hair on the human body. Hair can be found on the whole body except on the faces of the hands and the bottom of the feet.

There are 206 bones in the body of a typical adult. However, babies have something like 315 when they're born, as the cartilege hasn't grown into its final shape yet.

The largest is the gluteus maximus (Butt), the quadriceps is made of four muscles: vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius and rectus femoris.  They are probably the largest muscle GROUP, but none of them on their own are the largest single muscle.  However, some sources cite the latissimus dorsi (the big muscle on your back that makes the border on the back side of your armpit) as the largest muscle in the body.  So there is some controversy and I can see the lats are fairly large hunk of muscle and spread over a very large area (they come from the spine in your middle/lower back all the way up to your shoulder), however, the gluteus maximus is much thicker (the lats are very thin).  Gluteus maximus has the distinction of strongest muscle in the body.

The strongest muscle of the body is the muscle that closes the jaw for chewing, unfortunately, I forget the name at the moment.\n\nThe largest muscle, the Gluteous Maximus, making it more padding for you to sit on.\n\nThe muscles that flex and extend your fingers, are not in your fingers, or your hands, but in your forearms. (Flexor digitoris longorum and extensor digitoris longorum.)\n\nAnd the home of the sweat glands, the skin, is the largest organ of the body.
