What is a muscle surrounded by?

What is molecular muscular contraction?
1. ATP hydrolysis
2. Cross-bridge formation
3. Release of ADP and phosphate (p)
4. ATP binding; Cross-bridge dissociation

What is the point of attachment of a muscle to a bone that is less movable called?
tendons and ligaments
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
No.... Actually Tendons connect the muscle to the bone, and Ligaments connect bone to bone together. So although this may sound correct it is not. Yes both can move, but it is not the answer that any professor would be looking for. The correct answer is Muscle Insertion..
Connective tissue that connects muscle to bone?
A tendon (or sinew) is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that connects muscle to bone or muscle to muscle and is designed to withstand tension. Tendons are similar to ligaments except that ligaments join one bone to another. Tendons and muscles work together and can only exert a pulling force.
Better AnswerThe connective tissue that connects muscle and bone is called the Periosteum, which is the connective tissue covering of the Bone. The tendon is a middleman that connects the bone to the muscle.The tendon is continuous with the muscle via Epimysium, which the outer covering of the muscle.
Muscle is attached to bone by tendons.

What is the best bicep workout?
High intensity short workouts, give the best results for biceps. I personally prefer Pete Siscos and Jason Ferruggias methods best. Where you pack on a lot more weight than you usually can handle, then lift that just a few inches within your strongest range and hold it there (statically) for 5-7 seconds. Then let go, and you're done.
