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 else can I help you with?
What is the difference between tendons of insertion and tendons of origin?
difference between the origin bendon and the insertion tendon
What is the difference between a skeletal muscle's origin and its insertion?
the position at which the end of the muscles is attached by means of a tendon to a movable bone whereas insertion is the attachment of muscles to the movable bone.. also origin is generally closer to the mid line of the body whereas insertion is farther away..
What is reverse origin and insersion?
Reverse origin and insertion refers to the changing of the attachment points of a muscle. When the origin and insertion of a muscle are reversed, the muscle's previous insertion point now becomes the origin, and vice versa. This can have an impact on the muscle's function and movement.
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.
What is the difference between a muscle's origin and it's insertion?
the position at which the end of the muscles is attached by means of a tendon to a movable bone whereas insertion is the attachment of muscles to the movable bone.. also origin is generally closer to the mid line of the body whereas insertion is farther away..
What is the opposite origin of a muscle?
Insertion
What is the movable point to which a muscle may be attached?
The "movable" end of a muscle is called the insertion. The "immobile" end is called the origin. Shortening, or contraction, of a muscle causes the origin and insertion to become closer to one another.
How would you distinguish between the origin of a muscle and the insertions of a muscle?
origin is where the muscle is attached and is the "starting point" where the insertion is where the muscle ends "the ending point" the insertion of the muscle is what moves, while the origin in most cases stays still.
What muscle is the lesser moving part?
There are two points of attachment for a (skeletal) muscle, the origin and the insertion. The origin is the immovable (or slightly movable) part. The insertion moves towards the origin.
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 does origin and insertion of the muscles mean?
The origin is the immovable end, while insertion is the movable end.Some muscles have more than one origin, like the biceps brachii. The insertion of the biceps brachii is attached to the radius of your forearm while the origins are located on your scapula.
Name the two points of attachment for the skeletal muscle?
The two attachment points are the origin and insertion. The origin is the immovable (or slightly moveable point. The insertion is the movable point. The insertion always moves towards the origin.
