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
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 it when one bone rotates in a ring around another stationary bone?
pivot
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.
What is enthesophyte quadriceps tendon attachment?
An enthesophyte is a bone spur near a tendon.
The point of attachment of a muscle by means of a tendon to the stationary bone is called?
insertion
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 attachment is on the bone that moves?
Insertion is the attachment on the bone that moves
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".
Define the attachment points of muscle to bone?

What bone in the skull is not stationary?
The mandible (jawbone).
Connection of muscle to a stationary bone?
origin
What is it when one bone rotates in a ring around another stationary bone?
pivot
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 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.
What is attachment of muscle to bone?
Legment and tendons
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.
