    Is it true that the strongest muscle in the human body is the jaw muscle?

    Question #116603. Asked by armindasantana. (Aug 08 10 3:07 PM)

    		It depends on what is meant by "strongest". The masseter muscle (jaw)is the strongest based on its weight.

    While there is no "definitive" answer, it is commonly thought that relative to size, the tongue is the strongest muscle.
