Fastest moving muscle in the human body

 The fastest moving muscle in the human body is orbicularis oculi.


We have them in our eyes. One in each eye.


These muscles control the closing action of eyelids.


When an involuntary action that protects the eye is triggered, for example an object touching the eye


These muscles shut the eyelids in less than 100 milli seconds  !!!


This phenomenon has entered in Guinness world records also.
