Both the origin and insertion points attach muscles to bone. The muscles are moving the bones so they must be attached directly to bone.

Where does the muscle attach to the bone?

Where a muscle attaches to a bone is at the origin and insertion points. The origin is the immovable (or slightly moveable) attachment point and the the insertion is the movable attachment point. During contraction the insertion moves towards the origin. HOW a muscle attaches to a bone is through tendons.


Two ways muscles attach to bone?

I think you may be talking about origin and insertion points which are the two points of attachment for a muscle. The origin is attached to the immovable (or less movable) bone. The insertion is attached to the movable bone. The insertion always moves towards the origin.

What is the term for the point of attachment where muscle connects to the bone it moves?

A tendon connects bone to muscle and a ligament connects bone to bone. The actual point of attachment where a muscle connects to a bone is called the process(n) of the bone. This is a bulge in the bone where muscle can attach to provide movement. Not all muscles will attach to bone via a bony process as described above, it may can sometimes by a fleshy attachment (e.g. sternocleidomastoid to clavicle). So broader terms are simple origin and insertion, origin being the attachment that tends to be fixed and insertion being the attachment that tends to move when the muscle is contracted.
