What is the name for a muscle attached at only one end?
A muscle attached at only one end is called unipennate muscle. It has a single tendon and its muscle fibers run diagonally to the tendon.
Is your tongue the only muscle that is attached on only one end?
Yes. The tongue is the only muscle in the entire human body that is only attached on one extremity. In that sense the tongue is more like a tentacle than a muscle...
What is the muscle that is attached at one end?
The muscle that is attached at one end is typically referred to as a "tendinous" muscle. In anatomy, many muscles have tendons that connect them to bone at one end, allowing for movement when the muscle contracts. For example, the biceps brachii has a tendon at one end that attaches to the scapula and another that connects to the radius in the forearm. This arrangement enables the muscle to exert force and facilitate joint movement.
What if a bone had only one muscle attached to it?
muscles can only pull so a bone with only one muscle on it would be pulled to the extreme of the muscles contraction and stay there.
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 muscle in mammals is connected on only one end?

Where are tendons found?
One end of a tendon comes from the end of a muscle while the other end is attached to a bone. Some tendons are round while others are flat. Tendons also differ in length and thickness.
How might an injury to an antagonistic muscle pair affect movement?
The injury would allow for the joint the muscles are attached to, to move in one direction...either only up becasue the lower muscle was damaged...or only down because the top muscle of the pair was damaged.
What does origin and insertion of the muscles mean?
The origin is the immovable end, while insertion is the movable end.Some muscles have more than one origin, like the biceps brachii. The insertion of the biceps brachii is attached to the radius of your forearm while the origins are located on your scapula.
How are tendons associated with the muscular system?
It is the tough, fibrous tendons that actually attach the muscle to the bones of the skeleton. Generally, tendons attach to at least two different bones to create a lever for the muscles to act upon - the tendons at one end of the muscle belly being attached to one bone, and at the other end, the tendon/s attaches to the other bone. The fibrous tissue surrounding the muscle is all continuous with the tendon at each end.
How is the developing fetus attached to the uterus?
