When you hear the word muscle a few things come to mind. The most common response is the shellfish (mussel) served in spicy red sauce or possibly a really way cool 60's type car. The dictionary definition of the word muscle reads:any body organ consisting of fibrous tissue that can be contracted or expanded to produce bodily movement. In simple terms, muscles allow the body to move with the help of our bones,tendons and other organs.
