Why do all muscle cross a joint? Define the attachment points of muscle to bone?
I think its the tongue
Single joint muscles are muscles that cross and act on only one joint. They are primarily responsible for producing movement at that specific joint, such as the biceps muscle that crosses the elbow joint to bend the forearm.
If you're talking about moving the joint, either the muscle or the tendon does. There are plenty of muscles that aren't involved with a joint, such as the heart muscle, facial muscles, stomach and intestines...
Muscles contract and relax to move a joint. ... Muscles contract at a constant rate. Muscles contract and relax to move a joint.
1. All muscles cross at least one joint. 2. Typically, the bulk of muscle lies proximal to the joint crossed. 3. During contraction, the muscle insertion moves toward the origin. 4. All muscles have at least two attachments (origin and insertion). 5. Muscles always pull, they never push.
The muscles around the pivot joint are the Quadricep and the Hamstring muscles.

Muscles that bend a joint are flexors; musces that straighten a joint are extensors.
No, it is the opposite. Muscles that bend a joint are called flexors, while muscles that straighten a joint are called extensors. For example, the biceps are flexors of the elbow joint, and the triceps are extensors of the elbow joint.
Opposing muscles use connective tissues to cause movement in a joint.
