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 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.
Where muscles ends that is the more movable end or portion away from the midline?
muscle origin
Connection of muscles to the bone that moves?
tendons Actually that's wrong. Tendons are CONNECTIVE TISSUE that BINDS muscles to bones.. The answer your looking for is actually "Insertion" Or "Insertion Of a Muscle". Also The connection of muscle to a STATIONARY bone is "Origin" Or "Origin Of a Muscle.
Does the insertion attach to bone or skin?
Both the origin and insertion points attach muscles to bone. The muscles are moving the bones so they must be attached directly to bone.

What is the difference between muscles origin and insertion?
nothing basically ....The origin is usually the prximal attachemnt that is fixed whereas the insertion is the distal stachement that moves with the bone as it contracts.that is what they teach in schoolhowever for example if you do a chin-upyou are contracting biceps but the part is moving is the origin and the arm is stationary the rest of the body is moving with each chin-upso... that isn't an accurate way to look at it.another muscle to look at is rectus abdonomis .. how to tell where is origion..etc
What are some examples of muscles named for their origin and insertion?
Subscapularis, tibialis, subclavius, sternocostalis, iliacus
