Define the attachment points of muscle to bone?
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.
What muscle has an attachment on the superior facet of greater tubercle of humerus?
Biceps
Define Origin and insertion?
origin is where the muscle stars (generally the proximal attachment or in some cases medial) insertions is where the muscle ends (generally the distal or lateral attachment) for example the origin of the bicep would be the shoulder while the insertion is the elbow
The less movable attachment point of a muscle is called the?
Origin
What is the attachment to the stationary bone?
Alright, now that the riff-raff is outta the way - Origin is the attachment of a muscle (tendon) that is stationary. Insertion is at the other end of the muscle that is attached to a movable bone, also with a tendon. Hoped that helps.
Which muscle attachment is usually fixed or immovable?
What is the Orgin of a muscle, and the moveable part is the insertion
What is the fixed attachment of a muscle called?
According to Anthony's Textbook of Anatomy and Physiology the origin is that point of attachment that does not move when the muscle contracts, and the point of attachment that does move when the muscle contracts is the insertion. Muscles and muscle groups that that directly perform specific movements are prime movers or agonists.
Is the distal attachment of a muscle the origin?
Origin is typically the proximal attachment of a muscle because it is the least moveable. The distal attachment is where a muscle inserts.
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.
What is the part of the bone that provides a place for muscle attachment?
Many bones have ridges and protuberances which provide an area for muscle attachment.
Is the insertion the distal attachment of a muscle?
true
What is attachment of muscle to bone?
Legment and tendons
What is muscle attachment and function?
Origin and Insertion One of the points of attachment is the ORIGIN (typically the non-moving point of attachment). The other point of attachment is the INSERTION (typically the moving point of attachment). For example - when the brachialis muscle (located on the upper arm) contracts - it shortens the distance between the origin (on the humerus - the upper arm bone and the insertion (on the radius - the forearm bone). The humerus does not move, but the radius does move - it moves closer to the humerus.
Injury to the body of the muscle or attachment of the tendon?
An injury to a muscle or a tendon is called a strain.
What term identifies the site where a muscle attaches to the bone it pulls on?
The attachment of the muscle that is on the moving bone is known as the insertion. In contrast, the origin is the attachment of the muscle on the non-moving bone.
What is the attachment of the muscle of the least mobile point?
Origin
What hand muscle does not have a bony attachment?
funny bone
