We have so many weird parts, it's hard to know where to begin. What part of our body is also considered a "muscular hydrostat"?

Our tongue is our most charismatic "muscular hydrostat," a pair of words that refers to a group of muscles that operate independently from our skeletal system. The human tongue is similar to an elephant's trunk or an octopus's arm, made up of 8 different muscles that intertwine with each other to create a powerful matrix.
