Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The heart has the ability to beat over 3 billion times in a person’s life. The strongest muscle based on its weight is the masseter . With all muscles of the jaw working together it can close the teeth with a force as great as 55 pounds (25 kilograms) on the incisors or 200 pounds (90.7 kilograms) on the molars.

Detailed explanation-2: -The thigh bone is called a femur and not only is it the strongest bone in the body, it is also the longest. Because the femur is so strong, it takes a large force to break or fracture it – usually a car accident or a fall from high up.

Detailed explanation-3: -Doctor’s response. The strongest muscle in the body is debatable. Some physiologists believe it’s the masseter (used for chewing), while others claim it’s the gluteus maximus (buttocks), or the rectus femoris (part of the quadriceps in the thigh). It’s not easy to determine partly because muscles don’t work alone.

Detailed explanation-4: -Second strongest muscle: Masseter is the second strongest muscle in the human body.
