Insertion of a skeletal muscle?
There are two ends of attachment of skeletal muscle. The "origin", and the "insertion". The "insertion" end refers to the end which is attached to a moveable bone which this muscle will move when it is contracted. The "origin" end is usually the most distal attachment (in appendicular skeleton) this is the bone that the muscle attaches to, and DOES NOT MOVE. Example. Biceps brachii. Origin- connection to the humeral head Insertion- radius/ulna summary- contract your biceps muscle, and your radius and ulna will move. not your shoulder. The end.
Can broken bone cut a muscle that is attached to the bone?
Most certainly. In severe breaks the broken bone can protrude through the muscle and skin, this is called a compound fracture.
The origin is the distal attachment of a muscle?
Origin is typically the proximal attachment of a muscle because it is the least moveable. The distal attachment is where a muscle inserts.
How the action of a muscle pulling on a bone can work like a lever?
If the muscle crosses a joint (most do), then the joint acts as a pivot.
What is the end of the muscle that is attached to the movable bone and moves when a skeletal muscle contracts?
Insertion point, which most probably is a tendon.
What are the longest and most slender muscle?
The sartorius muscle is considered the longest muscle in the human body. It runs from the hip to the inner side of the knee. The gracilis muscle, located in the inner thigh, is one of the most slender muscles in the body.
What is the correct order of materials in the human body in increasing radiodensity air liver fat blood bone muscle?
Air, fat, muscle, blood, liver, bone. The order is based on increasing radiodensity, with air being the least dense and bone being the most dense.
Is protein necessary for healthy bone density?
Protein would be most helpful for muscle growth. Bone density is affected most by calcium intake...which you can get from milk or a pill.
Which synovial joint is most moveable?
Shoulder
What do most skletal muscle attach to?
bones of the skeleton
Why is muscle and bone cells not needed by a plant?
A muscle cell is not found in a plant because for a muscle cell to do its job it needs bones in the organism. Therefore most plants do not have bones.
What do tendons link together?
Muscle FibersTendons connect muscles to bones. Not to be confused with ligaments, which connect bones to other bones.Tendons are fibrous connective tissue that are made of collagen. They most commonly connect muscles to bones. The strongest tendon in the human body is the Achilles tendon.
