Is the sternocleidomastoid named for its origin and insertion?
Yes! It originates at the sternum, and the medial portion of the clavicle, and inserts into the mastoid process.
What is the insertion of the brachioradialis muscle?
Styloid Process of the radius
What insertion is on the xiphoid process and coastal cartiliages?
You have xipoid process, costal carilages, medial ends of two clavicle and xipisternum attached to the sternum bone.
Define Origin and insertion?
origin is where the muscle stars (generally the proximal attachment or in some cases medial) insertions is where the muscle ends (generally the distal or lateral attachment) for example the origin of the bicep would be the shoulder while the insertion is the elbow
Which muscles flexes the head?
The name of the muscle is sternocleidomastoid. As the name suggests, the muscle arise from the sternum and clavicle to reach the mastoid process. You have two muscles, one muscle on each side.
What muscle has the origin of the clavicle and the insertion of the humerus?
Tricep
What is the origin and insertion point for the deltoids?
The deltoid is very interesting muscle. It arise from the outer and lateral border of the clavicle and outer and lateral border of the spine of the scapula. From the corresponding inner border, you have insertion of the trapezius muscle. The deltoid muscle is inserted on the deltoid tuberosity on the lateral and middle part of the humerus bone. So it looks that the trapezius muscle continue as the deltoid muscle.
What structures are related to lateral end of the spine of the scapula?
Scapula is very interesting bone. It holds the upper limb, but have no bony attachment to your thorax. It is attached to thorax, through the collar bone or the clavicle. Lateral end of the clavicle is attached to the lateral end of the spine of the scapula. On the inside of the spine of the scapula and clavicle, you have insertion of the muscle called as trapezius. From out side of this, you have origin of the deltoid muscle. Technically and mechanically, the trapezius muscle continues as deltoid muscle.
Where does the insertion of the muscle located?
Insertion of muscles are located in different areas depending on the muscle in question. The insertion of the latissimus dorsi muscle is the arm.
What does insertion mean in medical terminology?
The insertion of a muscle is the place where it attaches to the bone that the muscle moves.
Is a sternaclydamastoid a muscle or bone?
muscle from the sternum to the mastoid process, throught the clavicle
What is the difference between the origin and the insertion of the muscle?
The origin of a muscle is where the muscle starts ("the starting point"). The insertion of a muscle is where the muscle ends ("the ending point"). Also, the insertion of the muscle is what moves a lot (contrary of the origin where the muscle mostly stays stationary).
What is the movable point to which a muscle may be attached?
The "movable" end of a muscle is called the insertion. The "immobile" end is called the origin. Shortening, or contraction, of a muscle causes the origin and insertion to become closer to one another.
What muscles are found in only in the heart?
the clavicle muscle is the only muscle found in your heart
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 insetion of the trapezius muscle?
Spine of the Scapula Acromion Clavicle
What is The movable end of the muscle?
insertion
