Chin-ups, just as most exercises use a primary & secondary muscle group. The primary muscle group would be the back (or latissimus dorsi). This is what helps to give that "V" - shape in the torso area. (along with slimming down the torso area, of course) The secondary muscle group would be the biceps. Depending on your grip position, you can focus either more on your "lats", or arms.

Name the insertion of the primary muscle used?
The deltoid muscle is muscle used to move your arm. The deltoid's insertion is at the deltoid tuberosity of humerus. The deltoid is responsible for flexion and medial rotation of the humerus.
What is muscle attachment and function?
Origin and Insertion One of the points of attachment is the ORIGIN (typically the non-moving point of attachment). The other point of attachment is the INSERTION (typically the moving point of attachment). For example - when the brachialis muscle (located on the upper arm) contracts - it shortens the distance between the origin (on the humerus - the upper arm bone and the insertion (on the radius - the forearm bone). The humerus does not move, but the radius does move - it moves closer to the humerus.
