Muscle fibers converge into tendinous material that attaches a portion or body of the muscle to specific bony landmarks on the skeleton. The place that muscle fibers become tendon can be called, for lack of a better term, a musculotendinous junction.
Tendons attach muscles to bones (just as ligaments attach bone to bone) at landmarks on the skeleton. Most of these landmarks have names of their own, based on things like shape, location and/or size. Depending upon the depth to which one wants to focus on these attention points, they can be further divided into origin and insertion points, meaning that a muscle originates and ends at specific, mappable points on the skeleton and those points are, for the most part, the same for each person.
