Define the attachment points of muscle to bone?
The attachment points of muscles to bones are called tendons. Tendons are tough, fibrous tissues that connect muscle to bone and allow the muscle to exert force on the bone, enabling movement. The point of attachment on the bone is typically referred to as the insertion point, while the point on the muscle where the tendon originates is called the origin.

Compare a ligament with a tendon?
A ligament is a flexible band of tissue that connects bone to bone, providing stability and preventing excessive movement in a joint. A tendon, on the other hand, is a flexible band of tissue that connects muscle to bone, allowing for movement and transmitting force from the muscle to the bone. Both ligaments and tendons are composed of collagen fibers but serve different functions in the body.
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 an antonym for the word tendon?
Muscle or Bone. A tendon connects a muscle and bone together but is not a muscle or bone.
