Our Strongest Muscles.

The strongest muscle In the human
body is the gluteus maximus. Hardly
movement of the lower extremtties
can be made without bringing it into
play, but its chief duty is to balance
the pelvis on the head Of the thigh
bone. II assists In carrying the leg
forward and outward In walking, and
without its aid any movement of the
body from the hips would be impossi-
Bile.
AS 1t is the strongest, so Is 1t also the
largest muscle we possess. In the full
grown man II can exert force Of 40
pounds TO the square inch OF its section
in the thickest part.
Another strong muscle, which is stu
ated In the calf of the leg, Is capable
of sustaining seven times the weight
Of the body. The great tendon, which
is inserted In the heel bone and which
is called tendon achilles, Is also of sim
gular strength. When removed from
the body 1t has sustained a weight of
1000 pounds, yet sometimes by the
sudden action Of the muscles of the
calf, to which it belongs, it has been
snapped across.
