What is the strongest muscle in the body? I think it's one of the muscles in the jaw. My brother says it's the tonge. Which is it?!

In terms of exerting force on an object...the masseter muscle in the jaw
In terms of force exerted...the quadriceps femoris or gluteus maximus
In terms of strength/weight...the uterus
In terms of endurance...external muscles of eye or heart
Largest = Gluteus maximus
Longest = Sartorius

The tongue is the strongest for its size, but the quadriceps is the strongest.
