The tongue is a muscle that is not attached at both ends.
With the exception of the tongue (the heart is a special case), all muscles are attached at both ends
The Tongue
Both ends of the battery are connected, to make a complete circuit.
Fixed point at the end of the muscle is called as 'Insertion of the muscle.'
It ends at the tip, but it begins at the base of the back of the mouth (at the muscle insertion point).
Because without both ends connected there can not be a flow of electrons from one end of the battery to the other.
In order to work, a skeletal muscle must have both ends connected to he skeleton. The end of a muscle that does not move is called its origin. The other end is attached to the bone it moves, and is called insertion.

Only skeletal muscles are connected to bones. They don't attach directly to the bones, but are attached by tendons that emerge at the ends of the muscle groups or individual muscles. Smooth muscles are organ muscles, and cardiac muscle is specialized conductive muscle of the heart. Answer courtesy of gallop
LOL! The tongue is "tied" at the back of the throat so you can talk. Imagine someone whose tongue was loose at both ends and lubricated by ball bearings! She talks a lot, probably too much.
The Radius and Ulna in the arm are connected by many ligaments at the joints. This allows for free movement and it keeps them together. Also, the Bronchialis muscle of the forearm connects to both bones at both ends, giving another holder to the bones.
