Define the attachment points of muscle to bone?
The attachment points of muscles to bones are called tendons. Tendons are tough, fibrous tissues that connect muscle to bone and allow the muscle to exert force on the bone, enabling movement. The point of attachment on the bone is typically referred to as the insertion point, while the point on the muscle where the tendon originates is called the origin.
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.
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 term identifies the site where a muscle attaches to the bone it pulls on?
The term that identifies the site where a muscle attaches to the bone it pulls on is called the "insertion." This is typically the more movable attachment of the muscle, as opposed to the origin which is the less movable attachment site.
What hand muscle does not have a bony attachment?
funny bone
The point of attachment of a muscle by means of a tendon to the stationary bone is called?
The point of attachment of a muscle by means of a tendon to the stationary bone is called the origin.
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
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 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..
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 the function of the calvarium bone?
Protection and support of the brain, muscle attachment.
