Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i think its false
What we think of as a muscle is actually layers upon layers of muscular tissue, so coming up with a single number would be difficult. But we humans are definitely muscle bound. Muscular tissue makes up 35-40 percent of our body weight and comes in several types of packages — skeletal, cardiac and smooth. Skeletal muscles consist of about 650 striated layers connected to bones, so that's a figure often cited. The muscles you admire on Mr. and Ms. Universe (biceps, abdominals and the like) are the voluntary skeletal muscles, whose movements are controlled consciously by the prefrontal and motor cortex in the brain.
false there are 700 muscles in the human body
