What is the process above the glenoid cavity that permits muscle attachment?
Styloid process
Process above the glenoid cavity that permits muscle attachments?
coracoid process
The point of intersection for the sternocleidomastoid muscle is the?
The muscle is from your clavical to your skull. The insertion of the muscle it's attachment to the skull.
Function of Xiphoid process?
It provides an attachment point for the rectus abdominus muscle.
Is the head of the humerus laterally concave or convex?
The head of the humerus is laterally and medially convex. The medial convexity fits into the glenoid fossa, and the lateral convexity, the lesser tuberosity, provides a site for muscle attachment.
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.
Define the attachment points of muscle to bone?
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.
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.
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 part of the bone that provides a place for muscle attachment?
Many bones have ridges and protuberances which provide an area for muscle attachment.
Fixed attachment of a muscle?
origin
What is the fixed attachment of a muscle called?
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.
