Rectus abdominis
Origin: Pubic crest and pubic symphysis.
Insertion: Cartilage of 5th to 7th ribs and xyphoid process.
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.
The muscle that is primarily targeted and developed when doing sit-ups and tightening the abdominal wall is the rectus abdominis. This muscle is commonly referred to as the "abs" and is responsible for flexing the lumbar spine.
Without getting too technical, the tape is applied over the affected area with the muscles in a stretched position. Then the tape is applied from one end of the muscle to the other with very little to no stretch on the tape itself. The tape is applied from the ORIGIN to INSERTION of the muscle for SUPPORT and from INSERTION to ORIGIN for REHABILITATION.sportstapewholesalers.com.au
Originexternal occipital protuberance, nuchal ligament, medial superior nuchal line, spinous processes of vertebrae C7-T12Insertionposterior border of the lateral third of the clavicle, acromion process, and spine of scapula
The function of the rectus abdominis is spinal flexion.
1. Nearest; proximate.2. Anatomy Nearer to a point of reference such as an origin, a point of attachment, or the midline of the what ever you are trying to locate.So if you you where to look for the orgin of Rectus Femoris then yes it would be proximal to the knee.

The two attachment points are the origin and insertion. The origin is the immovable (or slightly moveable point. The insertion is the movable point. The insertion always moves towards the origin.
"abs" is an abbreviation for "abdominal muscles", which refers to the rectus abdominis, a paired muscle (one on each side).
You have rectus abdomins in the center of the abdomen. This is the muscle, which becomes prominent in case of 'six pack abs'.
The musculus rectus abdominis are also known as the abs or lower abdominals. They are the ones that give people that 'six pack' look.
difference between the origin bendon and the insertion tendon
the insertion is more moveable.
nothing basically ....The origin is usually the prximal attachemnt that is fixed whereas the insertion is the distal stachement that moves with the bone as it contracts.that is what they teach in schoolhowever for example if you do a chin-upyou are contracting biceps but the part is moving is the origin and the arm is stationary the rest of the body is moving with each chin-upso... that isn't an accurate way to look at it.another muscle to look at is rectus abdonomis .. how to tell where is origion..etc
Reverse origin and insertion refers to the changing of the attachment points of a muscle. When the origin and insertion of a muscle are reversed, the muscle's previous insertion point now becomes the origin, and vice versa. This can have an impact on the muscle's function and movement.
