Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There are around 650 skeletal muscles within the typical human body. Almost every muscle constitutes one part of a pair of identical bilateral muscles, found on both sides, resulting in approximately 320 pairs of muscles, as presented in this article. Nevertheless, the exact number is difficult to define.

Detailed explanation-2: -The typical male body contains approximately 640 muscles, which compose around two-fifths of its weight. The same number in a female body make up a slightly smaller proportion. A typical muscle spans a joint and tapers at each end into a fibrous tendon anchored to a bone.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most sources state that there are over 650 named skeletal muscles in the human body, although some figures go up to as many as 840. The dissension comes from those that count the muscles within a complex muscle.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are 639 muscles in the human body. Muscles are divided into three categories in the human body.

Detailed explanation-5: -Over 600 Skeletal Muscles Account for about Half of Our Body Weight. The muscles that move the human skeleton vary greatly in shape and size and extend to every part of our bodies. The muscular system contains over 600 skeletal muscles alone, which make up about 40% of our mass.
