An average adult body is 50 to 65 percent water -- that's roughly 45 quarts. Men are more watery than women. A man's body is 60 to 65 percent water, compared to 50 to 60 percent for a woman. In infants, the figure is a whopping 70 percent according to statistics compiled by the International Bottled Water Association. http://www.boston.com/globe/search/stories/health/how_and_why/011298.htm

I give you the insertions of a muscle in the human body, and you tell me which one it is. All positions relate to the 'anatomical position' which is standing with your arms by your sides and palms facing forwards. Good luck!
