How many total muscles are in the body

600 muscles

Explanation:

There are about 600 muscles in the human body.

Explanation:

The three main types of muscle include skeletal, smooth and cardiac. The brain, nerves and skeletal muscles work together to cause movement - this is collectively known as the neuromuscular system.

between the two muscle layers is the myenteric or auerbach's plexus, which controls peristalsis. in the colon, the muscularis externa is much thicker because the feces are large and heavy, requiring more force to push along. the stomach has a third layer of muscularis externa: the inner oblique layer.
