The Attachment of the Muscle to the More Movable Bone

Question

The attachment of the muscle to the more movable bone is its _______
A) insertion
B) origin
C) antagonist
D) synergist

Accepted Answer

The insertion of a muscle is the point of attachment to the more movable bone. This is where the muscle's fibers come together to create tension and cause movement. Conversely, the origin of the muscle is the attachment point to the more stable bone. The antagonist is a muscle that opposes or works against the action of another muscle, while a synergist works with another muscle to enhance its action.
