A muscle attaches to a bone at two points the origin and insertion. The origin is the immovable (stationary) point. The insertion is the movable point. The insertion always moves towards the origin.
Fibrous joint? The definition: consists of two bones that are united by fibrous tissue and exhibit little or no movement.
