The deltoid muscle attaches to the anterior and lateral acromion primarily by direct tendinous attachment. The muscle attaches to the dorsal side of the acromion by periosteal fiber attachment.

Why are there more indirect- that is tendinous- muscle attachments to bone than there are direct attachments?
Tendons are very flexible, and also very resistant to extension. If arm muscle tissue was directly attached to the bone, then extreme movements would very easily tear the tissues and damage the muscle.
What muscle pulls the tendinous cords?
The papillary muscles pull on the tendinous cords
Why are there more indirect muscle attachments than direct attachments?

The tendinous intersections are found in what muscle?
rectus abdominis
What is trauma to a muscle or the muscle-tendinous units from violent contraction or excessive forcible stretch?
a muscle strain
Why are there more indirect-that is tendinous-muscles attachments to bone then there are direct attachments?
Tendons are very versitile. They are made of collagenous tissue which is highly resistant to extension and also relatively flexible. The main attachment sites of skeletal muscles are tendons. Tendons are the main attachment type for skeletal muscle to bone or cartilage. Tendons are by far the most important tissue for attachment and are present wherever the point of insertion is distant or the muscle must exert its forces of contraction across a joint.
What bone has no muscle attachments?
the Talus
What are examples of muscle with three attachments?
