The 'answer' that the 'tongue' is the strongest muscle in the human body is an urban myth. It's actually the 'setup' line to a very old (possibly prehistoric) joke about women being 'stronger' than men, simply because they (are said to) talk more. In actual fact, the strongest muscle(s) are the masseters, the muscles that close the jaw. Largest; gluteus maximus, the muscle upon which we all 'sit' Longest; sartorius, a very long, thin muscle of the leg which extends almost from the waist to the foot. Smallest; stapedius, the muscle that moves the stapes in the inner ear.
