According to Anthony's Textbook of Anatomy and Physiology the origin is that point of attachment that does not move when the muscle contracts, and the point of attachment that does move when the muscle contracts is the insertion. Muscles and muscle groups that that directly perform specific movements are prime movers or agonists.
What else can I help you with?
The less movable attachment point of a muscle is called the?
The less movable attachment point of a muscle is called the origin. This is typically the point of attachment that remains relatively fixed during muscle contraction, while the other end, known as the insertion, moves towards the origin.
Which muscle attachment is usually fixed or immovable?
What is the Orgin of a muscle, and the moveable part is the insertion
What is the relatively fixed point of a muscle's attatchment to a bone called?
The relatively fixed point of a muscle's attachment to a bone is called the origin. It is typically located closer to the body's midline and usually remains stationary during muscle contraction.
What is the attachment to the stationary bone?
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.
What happens to the origin and insertion of a muscle during contraction?
During muscle contraction, the origin (the attachment point of the muscle that remains relatively fixed) and the insertion (the attachment point of the muscle that moves) move closer together. This results in the muscle shortening and causing movement at the joint.
The point of attachment of a muscle by means of a tendon to the stationary bone is called?
The point of attachment of a muscle by means of a tendon to the stationary bone is called the origin.
Injury to the body of the muscle or attachment of the tendon?
An injury to a muscle or a tendon is called a strain.
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 is the fixed point at the end of a muscle?
Fixed point at the end of the muscle is called as 'Insertion of the muscle.'
The greatest surfaces for muscle attachment are found on the?
Tendons called apeneurosis.
Is the distal attachment of a muscle the origin?
Origin is typically the proximal attachment of a muscle because it is the least moveable. The distal attachment is where a muscle inserts.
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
