* Skeletal muscle or "voluntary muscle" is anchored by tendons to bone and is used to effect skeletal movement such as locomotion and in maintaining posture. Though this postural control is generally maintained as a subconscious reflex, the muscles responsible react to conscious control like non-postural muscles. An average adult male is made up of 40-50% of skeletal muscle and an average adult female is made up of 30-40% (as a percentage of body mass).[citation needed] source is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscles

A tendon? I don't think thats a muscle, but that's what is in between bones to help them bend, like your elbow.
