Question
of the week: What is the only bone in the human body that does not touch another
bone?
Answer to last week’s Question of the week: How many muscles and bones are there in the human body? longest? shortest? There are 206 bones in the human adult. There are approximately 656 muscles in the human body, although some authorities make this figure as high as 850 muscles . There is a wide variability from one person to another, although the general plan remains the same. The longest bone can be the femur depending on a person’s height. The shortest bone is the stirrup in the middle ear.
The
longest muscle in the body is the sartorius, which runs from the waist to the
knee. Its purpose is to flex the
hip and the knee. The largest
muscle is the gluteus maximus ( buttocks muscles).
