The triceps brachii is a muscle with three attachments.
the Talus
Indirect attachments are more common because of their durability and small size.
cardiac muscle walls of the stomach and intestines walls of blood vessels
Attachments, size, Function, and Location.
Muscle attachments play a crucial role in joint function by determining the range of motion and stability of the joint. Tendons connect muscles to bones, allowing muscles to exert force and create movement when they contract. The positioning and orientation of these attachments influence the mechanical leverage and efficiency of movement, as well as the joint's ability to withstand loads. Proper alignment and strength of muscle attachments are essential for maintaining joint health and preventing injuries.
Some examples are smooth muscle and cardiac muscle.
Muscle attaches to tendons which then attach to bone. "attachments" occur as smooth transitions from muscle to tendon, so that there is no precise discontinuity between what is called muscle and what is called the tendon.
The sternocleidomastoid muscle is named for its attachments to the sternum (sterno-), clavicle (cleido-), and mastoid process of the temporal bone. This muscle plays a crucial role in neck movement and rotation, as well as flexing the neck. Its name reflects its points of origin and insertion, highlighting its anatomical connections.

i say quadriceps fermoris because its on the one of the ham muscle
Skeletal muscle cells are responsible for voluntary movement of the body. Cardiac muscle cells make up the heart and are involved in pumping blood throughout the body. Smooth muscle cells are found in walls of internal organs and play a role in involuntary movements like digestion and blood vessel constriction.
A skeletal muscle with its proximal attachments near the joint or joints at which it acts, and its distal attachments at some distance from the joints, so that the greater part of its force is directed along the bones, tending to pull joint surfaces together. This makes shunt muscles good stabilizers.
