The Muscles
In the adult the muscles form about 35-40% of the body weight. All the
muscles are divided into the muscles of the trunk, head, and extremities.
Long, short and wide muscles form three basic groups. The long muscles
compose the free parts of the extremities. The wide muscles form the walls of the
body cavities. Some short muscles, of which stapedius is the smallest muscle in
the human body, form facial musculature.
The structure of the muscular fibers is different in different groups of
muscles. The muscles consist of a mass of muscle cells. The muscular fibers are
connected together by connective tissue. There are many blood vessels and nerves
in the muscles. The muscles are the active agents of motion and contraction.
