how many muscles are in the human body

OpenStudy (compassionate):

The human body is comprised of hundreds of muscles, about 640 in total. There is no exact count largely because expert opinions are conflicted regarding what constitutes a distinct muscle. Therefore, some experts will suggest 639 total while others may suggest there are more. Muscles are found within the muscular system, which is the body’s own network of tissues and fibers responsible for both outward and inward movements of the body.
