Alright, now that the riff-raff is outta the way -
Origin is the attachment of a muscle (tendon) that is stationary.
Insertion is at the other end of the muscle that is attached to a movable bone, also with a tendon. Hoped that helps.
insertion
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.
pivot
The proximal attachment is the temporal bone. The distal attachment is the manible. More specifically the corinoid process.
An enthesophyte is a bone spur near a tendon.
insertion
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..
Insertion is the attachment on the bone that moves
Ligaments attach bone to bone. Tendons attach muscles to bone.No, the origin is the attachment of a muscle to a stationary bone. You may have commonly heard of this as a "fixed end".
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.
The mandible (jawbone).
origin
pivot
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.
The proximal attachment is the temporal bone. The distal attachment is the manible. More specifically the corinoid process.
Legment and tendons
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.
