The tongue and the Penis do not have any insertion points that i am aware of.
1: Origin, 2 : Belly , and 3 : Insertion.
1. Nearest; proximate.2. Anatomy Nearer to a point of reference such as an origin, a point of attachment, or the midline of the what ever you are trying to locate.So if you you where to look for the orgin of Rectus Femoris then yes it would be proximal to the knee.
Action of the muscle Shape of the muscle Location of the muscle's origin and or insertion Number of origins Location of muscle relative to a bone or body region Direction in which the muscle fibers run relative to some imaginary line Relative size of the muscle
1. All muscles cross at least one joint. 2. Typically, the bulk of muscle lies proximal to the joint crossed. 3. During contraction, the muscle insertion moves toward the origin. 4. All muscles have at least two attachments (origin and insertion). 5. Muscles always pull, they never push.
Criteria used to name the muscle, transverse abdomis was 1. Direction of the muscle fibers 2. Relative size of the muscle to the muscles around it 3. Location of the muscle 4. Number of origins 5. Location of the muscle's origin and insertion 6. Shape of the muscle 7. Action of the muscle
Semitendinosus and Semimembranosus are the most caudal and deep muscles Semitendinosus: Origin- ischiatic tuberosity; insertion medial surface of the body of the tibia and tuber calcanei (and crural fascia); innervation - sciatic nerve Semimembranosus: Origin- ISchiatic tuberosity; Insertion- distal medial lip of the caudal rough surface of the femur, and proximal end of the tibia; innervation- sciatic nerve The biceps femoris is the most lateral, and the adductor is the larges medial muscle
Three types of muscle body, origin and insertion.
1. Direction of the muscle fibers - Muscles named for the directional relationship with imaginary midline division of the body. EX: rectus femoris is the straight muscle of the thigh.2. Relative size of the muscle - Large (maximus), small (minimus), and length (longus) terms are used to describe the muscle's size relative to those around it. EX: gluteus maximus.3. Location of the muscle - Muscles can be named for the bone with which they are associated. EX: the temporalis muscle lays over the temporal bone of the skull.4. Number of origins - The number of origins (starting points) a muscle has determines its name. EX: a Bicep has TWO points of origin.5. Location of the muscle's origin and insertion - Named for its starting point(s) [origin] and its ending [insertion] point. EX: The sternocleidomastoid has origins in the sternumand clavicle and is ended, or inserted, on the mastoid process of the temporal bone.6. Shape of the muscle - Named for a distinct shape. EX: The deltoid is a rough triangular shape. [Deltoid = Triangle in Latin]7. Action of the muscle - Terms like, flexor, extensor, and adductor are used to name muscles based on their movement. EX: Extensor muscles of the wrist extend the wrist.
Very few, if any, skeletal muscles in the human body are not attached to bone at the origin or insertion. There are a few muscles which do not have 2 bony attachments, and instead are connected by tendinous sheaths to other muscles - the abdominal muscles come to mind. If we are talking all muscles, there are many - the heart, which is muscle, is not attached to bone. The smooth muscles in the vasculature, eyes, gut, esophagus, etc are not connected to bone. Depends on which muscle you mean. :) J. DeLaughter, DO
Muscles can move bones because they can reduce their length in response to a stimulus, which comes from the nervous system. Skeletal muscles, the ones attached to the bones to make them move, have two ends: an origin and an insertion. These ends are each connected to different bones and these bones are connected to each other by a joint. The two bones and the muscle can be seen to form a triangle, with the bones making up two of the three sides, and the muscle the third. answer is correct, this is a shorter version, muscle connects 2 bones, the muscle fibers contract to shorten and pull the bones closer together.
this muscle is otherwise known as supinator longus. it is one among the 7 superficial extensors of the posterior forearm. origin : upper 2/3rd of the lateral supracondylar ridge of the humerus bone.
No you cant.
