The Muscle Attachment to the More Movable Bone is Called

Question

The muscle attachment to the more movable bone is called the
A) origin
B) insertion
C) tendon
D) bursae

Accepted Answer

The insertion is the point where the muscle attaches to the bone that moves the most during its contraction. The origin, on the other hand, is the point of attachment of the muscle to the bone that remains stationary during the contraction. Tendons are fibrous connective tissues that attach muscles to bones, and bursae are fluid-filled sacs that reduce friction between tissues in the joints.
