The end of the muscle that is attached by means of a tendon to the movable bone and opposite to the origin?
INSERTION
What is the movable point to which a muscle may be attached?
The "movable" end of a muscle is called the insertion. The "immobile" end is called the origin. Shortening, or contraction, of a muscle causes the origin and insertion to become closer to one another.
What is the name of the end of a muscle attached to the bone?
muscles connect to ligaments connect to bones!
What is the difference between a skeletal muscle's origin and its insertion?
The origin of a skeletal muscle is the point where it attaches to a stationary bone, typically closer to the body's midline. The insertion is where the muscle attaches to a movable bone, generally further away from the body's midline. Contraction of the muscle causes the insertion to move towards the origin, resulting in movement at the joint.
What part of a muscle is usually attached to a fixed location?
A muscle insertion is the end of a muscle attached to the free-moving bone of its joint. A muscle origin is the end of the muscle attached to the relatively fixed bone of the joint.
What is the difference between a muscle's origin and it's insertion?
the position at which the end of the muscles is attached by means of a tendon to a movable bone whereas insertion is the attachment of muscles to the movable bone.. also origin is generally closer to the mid line of the body whereas insertion is farther away..
The less movable attachment point of a muscle is called the?
The less movable attachment point of a muscle is called the origin. This is typically the point of attachment that remains relatively fixed during muscle contraction, while the other end, known as the insertion, moves towards the origin.
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 muscle is the lesser moving part?
There are two points of attachment for a (skeletal) muscle, the origin and the insertion. The origin is the immovable (or slightly movable) part. The insertion moves towards the origin.
What is the opposite origin of a muscle?
Insertion
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
