    No your wrong im afraid, the most active muscle in the body is the heart, or to be more specific the cardiac muscle.

    Take your pick on who win, either myself or Aristotle

    OK, I found links on google saying it was the cardiac muscle in the heart.

    What do we do from here?

    From: http://yucky.kids.discovery.com/noflash/body/pg000123.html
    Eye muscles are the busiest muscles in the body. Scientists estimate they may move more than 100,000 times a day!

    So....

    The Suboccipital is correct Scudster takes it.


    HOWEVER!!!

    FROM THE CHARTER:
    Please remember: This is a PUBLIC GENERAL KNOWLEDGE forum too

    No stupid questions that no-one will ever get! (that can go in the cuckoo forum!)

    So, Please start making questions more GENERAL and less SPECIFIC.


    Thank you :cool:

    Thanks Papa Smut.

    You're up Scudster.

    To answer your question above, Zymurgy is the art and craft of brewing beer, wine, etc.

    I may be 15 but I know my stuff :D
