Muscles typically attach to the skeleton at two points: the origin and the insertion. The origin is the fixed attachment point, while the insertion is the point that moves during muscle contraction. This arrangement allows for efficient movement and stability of the skeletal system.
The human body contains many tendons. Tendons attach skeleton muscles to bone. Ligaments, on the other hand, attach bones to other bones.
No muscles attach to the talus, extensive ligaments attach to the talus to reinforce the ankle joint however the majority of the muscles originate from the calcaneus

The book 'Skeleton Key' is worth 10.0 points.
Human body comprises approximately 600 muscles.
Three muscles attach to the lesser tubercle of the humerus: subscapularis, teres major, and the supraspinatus.
there are three types of muscles. skeleton muscles cardiac muscles smooth muscles
The sacrum does not have muscles that directly attach to it specifically for the knee. However, several muscles that influence knee movement do originate from or connect to the pelvis and sacrum, such as the gluteus maximus and certain hip flexors. These muscles indirectly affect knee function but do not attach directly to the knee itself.
A buffalo's skeleton typically consists of around 207 bones. This number can vary slightly depending on the specific species and individual variations. Like other mammals, their skeletal structure supports their large, muscular bodies and provides attachment points for muscles.
The pectoral girdle attach the upper limbs to the axial skeleton and also provides attachment points for several muscles that move the upper limbs. The girdles are very light, therefore, allows upper limbs a greater degree of movement, however, because only the clavicle attaches to the axial skeleton, the scapula move freely across the thorax, allowing the arm to move with it. This arrangement is good for flexibility, but does not provide stability: which causes shoulder dislocation in many instance.....Anatomy & Physiology (pg.198) ..EB
Animals such as vertebrates, including humans, have a somewhat rigid internal skeleton made of bones or cartilage and multiple muscles attached to this skeleton for movement and support. Invertebrates like arthropods (e.g., insects, crabs) also have exoskeletons that provide structure and muscles for movement.
There are about 630 muscles in the human body.
