A muscle attaches to a bone at two points the origin and insertion. The origin is the immovable (stationary) point. The insertion is the movable point. The insertion always moves towards the origin.

What do you get when the muscle at the end of the follicle contracts?
uranus
Is the most stationary end of the muscle called the origin?
yes
What does a muscle become when it contracts?
A muscle becomes shorter when it contracts.
What is the end of the muscle that is attached to the movable bone and moves when a skeletal muscle contracts?
Insertion point, which most probably is a tendon.
What is the stationary point to which a muscle attaches to the body known as?
Ligaments attach bone to bone. Tendons attach muscles to bone.No, the origin is the attachment of a muscle to a stationary bone. You may have commonly heard of this as a "fixed end".
When a muscle contracts how does its form change?
A muscle that contracts shortens whereas a muscle that relaxes lengthens.
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.
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.
When one muscle contracts what happens to the opposing muscle?
When one muscle in a pair contracts the other expands.
When a skeletal muscle contracts it usually moves the bone at one end much more than the bone at its other end The attachment of the muscle to the less moveable bone is called its?
