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.
What is the name given to the point where the tendon inserts into the bone and will not move the bone when the muscle that it is connected to contracts?
The two or more points of a muscle attachment are called its origin point and its insertion point, insertion usually being farther away from the center of the body. Such as the bicep its origin point is at the ball of the humorous and its insertion point is at the ulna.

A bone imbedded in a tendon is called what bone?
Bones are not imbedded in tendons. Tendons attach to the bone from a muscle. The point at which a tendon attaches to a bone is called the 'insertion point'.
What is the relationship between origin insertion and action of the skeletal muscles?
The end of the muscle that is attached to the stationary bone is the point of origin. The muscle end that is attached to the moving bone is the point of insertion, and the action is what the muscle actually does.
The point of attachment of a muscle by means of a tendon to the stationary bone is called?
insertion
What is the stationary end when a muscle contracts?
A muscle attaches to a bone at two points the origin and insertion. The origin is the immovable (stationary) point. The insertion is the movable point. The insertion always moves towards the origin.Fibrous joint? The definition: consists of two bones that are united by fibrous tissue and exhibit little or no movement.
The more moveable attachment point of a muscle is called the?
The origin is the "immovable" point of attachment of a muscle to a bone.
What is the stationary point to which a muscle attaches to the body known as?
Ligaments attach bone to bone. Tendons attach muscles to bone.No, the origin is the attachment of a muscle to a stationary bone. You may have commonly heard of this as a "fixed end".
What is the point of attachment of a muscle to a bone that is less movable called?
tendons and ligaments^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^No.... Actually Tendons connect the muscle to the bone, and Ligaments connect bone to bone together. So although this may sound correct it is not. Yes both can move, but it is not the answer that any professor would be looking for. The correct answer is Muscle Insertion..
What is the difference between the origin and the insertion of the muscle?
The origin of a muscle is where the muscle starts ("the starting point"). The insertion of a muscle is where the muscle ends ("the ending point"). Also, the insertion of the muscle is what moves a lot (contrary of the origin where the muscle mostly stays stationary).
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.
