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.

Complete tearing away of a muscle or ligament from attachment to a bone is called what?
A complete tear or complete rupture, whether it involves a tendon (muscle-to-bone connection) or a ligament (bone-to-bone connection)
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.
The point of attachment of a muscle by means of a tendon to the stationary bone is called?
insertion
Does the skeleton provide attachment points for tendons of skeletal muscles?
The skeleton provides the attachment for muscles and other tissues. Bones of the skeleton are attached to each other by ligaments, and muscle is attached to bone by tendons.
What is an attachment site for the temporalis?
The proximal attachment is the temporal bone. The distal attachment is the manible. More specifically the corinoid process.
Why do all muscles cross a joint?
Why do all muscle cross a joint? Define the attachment points of muscle to bone?
Where does the muscle attach to the bone?
Where a muscle attaches to a bone is at the origin and insertion points. The origin is the immovable (or slightly moveable) attachment point and the the insertion is the movable attachment point. During contraction the insertion moves towards the origin. HOW a muscle attaches to a bone is through tendons.
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.
Points of muscle attachment are known as the?

What is attachment of muscle to bone?
Legment and tendons
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.
What hand muscle does not have a bony attachment?
funny bone
What term identifies the site where a muscle attaches to the bone it pulls on?
The attachment of the muscle that is on the moving bone is known as the insertion. In contrast, the origin is the attachment of the muscle on the non-moving bone.
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.
The bone at the end of a muscle attachment that does not move during muscle contraction is called the?
Tendon! it just connects the bone to the muscle
The attachment of a muscle to a bone or cartilage?
I believe that is a joint.
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..
