What else can I help you with?
What is the relatively fixed point of a muscle's attatchment to a bone called?
The relatively fixed point of a muscle's attachment to a bone is called the origin. It is typically located closer to the body's midline and usually remains stationary during muscle contraction.
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.
What happens to the origin and insertion of a muscle during contraction?
During muscle contraction, the origin (the attachment point of the muscle that remains relatively fixed) and the insertion (the attachment point of the muscle that moves) move closer together. This results in the muscle shortening and causing movement at the joint.
Which part of the skeletal muscle remains fairly stationary during a contraction?
Idk thats why im here
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 are the points of attachment for muscles in the human body?
Muscles in the human body attach to bones at specific points called insertion and origin points. Insertion points are where muscles attach to bones and move during contraction, while origin points are where muscles attach to stationary bones. These attachment points allow muscles to create movement and perform various functions in the body.
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
The less movable attachment point of a muscle is called the?
The less movable attachment point of a muscle is called the origin. This is typically the point of attachment that remains relatively fixed during muscle contraction, while the other end, known as the insertion, moves towards the origin.
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 muscle contraction occurs in the biceps brachii during the upward phase of the bicep curl?
a concentric contraction- a concentric contraction involves the muscle length, shortening during a contraction! YA-trick-YA!
Does the Z line shorten during muscle contraction?
Yes, the Z line shortens during muscle contraction.
What happens to a muscle contraction if there is an excess amount of either Ca2 plus or ATP present during the contraction?
During muscle contraction the actin heads pull the sarcomere closed
