The non-moving portion of the muscle attached to bone or other fixed muscle is the?

It is called the origin.


Where muscles attach to moving bone?

Muscle attaches to a non-moving bone at the muscle's origin.


What term identifies the site where a muscle attaches to the bone it pulls on?

The term that identifies the site where a muscle attaches to the bone it pulls on is called the "insertion." This is typically the more movable attachment of the muscle, as opposed to the origin which is the less movable attachment site.


What is the point of attachment of a muscle to a bone that is less movable called?

tendons and ligaments^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^No.... Actually Tendons connect the muscle to the bone, and Ligaments connect bone to bone together. So although this may sound correct it is not. Yes both can move, but it is not the answer that any professor would be looking for. The correct answer is Muscle Insertion..


What is the location called where muscle attaches attaches to the non moving bone?

origin


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.


What is the term for non moving organism?

The term for non-moving organisms is "sessile." Sessile organisms are typically attached to a surface and do not exhibit any significant movement.

Distinguish between tendons and ligament?

Tendons are tough cords of fibrous tissue that attach muscles to bones, facilitating movement and providing stability. Ligaments are also fibrous tissue, but they connect bones to other bones at joints, helping to support and stabilize the joints during movement. In summary, tendons connect muscles to bones, while ligaments connect bones to other bones.


What do action potentials travel down to cause muscle contraction?

Axon of neuron, sarcolemma, and T-tubules.


What is non-contractile?

Non-contractile refers to tissues or structures that cannot undergo contraction, such as certain cells, like nerve cells, or non-muscle tissues like bone or cartilage. These tissues do not have the ability to actively generate force or movement through contraction.


Where are elastic Cartilages located at?

Cartlage, (elastic), conects bone to bone, ligaments, (non-elastic), connect muscle to bone.
