an origin is where the muscle attaches to the bone, it also attaches on another bone, this is called the insertion, the attachment where the bone moves is the insertion, the attachment where the bone does not move is the origin.

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 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.
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.
What muscle has the origin of the clavicle and the insertion of the humerus?
Tricep
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.
Define Origin and insertion?
origin is where the muscle stars (generally the proximal attachment or in some cases medial) insertions is where the muscle ends (generally the distal or lateral attachment) for example the origin of the bicep would be the shoulder while the insertion is the elbow
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 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.
What is the fixed end of a muscle close near the origin or insertion?
Origin is relatively fixed, while the insertion moves in most cases
