Define the attachment points of muscle to bone?
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.
What is attachment of muscle to bone?
Legment and tendons
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 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.
What hand muscle does not have a bony attachment?
funny bone
What is the part of the bone that provides a place for muscle attachment?
Many bones have ridges and protuberances which provide an area for muscle attachment.
The bone at the end of a muscle attachment that does not move during muscle contraction is called the?
Tendon! it just connects the bone to the muscle
A normal projection on the surface of a bone that serves as an attachment for muscles and tendons is known as?
process
The attachment of a muscle to a bone or cartilage?
I believe that is a joint.
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..
Which term describes a normal projection on the surface of a bone that serves as an attachment for muscles and tendons?
This is called a process.
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.
