Each sarcomere is composed of two main protein filaments—actin and myosin—which are the active structures responsible for muscular contraction.

Also Know, what is the second strongest muscle in the human body? The strongest muscle in the body is debatable.

Its not easy to determine partly because muscles dont work alone.

In respect to this, is the tongue the strongest muscle in the body?

First, the tongue isnt a single muscle. Its actually made up of eight different muscles. If you define strength to mean the ability to exert the most pressure, then the strongest muscle in the human body is the masseter muscle. Of course, you probably call the masseter your jaw muscle.
