The biggest muscle in the human body is the gluteus maximus (the buttock muscle). It is large and powerful because its job is to keep the trunk of our body in an upright posture. It is the most important anti-gravity muscle that aids us when walking up stairs or uphill.

∙ 12y agoThe body's biggest muscle is the sartorius. It is a strap-like, narrow muscle which runs from the hip to the knee. It has its origin in upper part of ilium, the ear-shaped hip bone, and is inserted into the tibia, the broad, strong bone of the shank. The insertion resembles a flattened tendon. The sartorius moves our leg nearer the body in midline and helps to rotate and cross the leg.
