Where does the muscle attach to the bone?
Where a muscle attaches to a bone is at the origin and insertion points. The origin is the immovable (or slightly moveable) attachment point and the the insertion is the movable attachment point. During contraction the insertion moves towards the origin. HOW a muscle attaches to a bone is through tendons.
Two ways muscles attach to bone?
I think you may be talking about origin and insertion points which are the two points of attachment for a muscle. The origin is attached to the immovable (or less movable) bone. The insertion is attached to the movable bone. The insertion always moves towards the origin.
What muscle has is origin at the occipital bone and insertion on the skin and muscle around the eye?
Epicranius
What is the stationary point to which a muscle attaches to the body known as?
Ligaments attach bone to bone. Tendons attach muscles to bone.No, the origin is the attachment of a muscle to a stationary bone. You may have commonly heard of this as a "fixed end".
What attach muscle to to bone?
Tendons attach muscle to bone (whereas ligaments attach bone to bone).
Tendons attach what?
Tendons attach muscle to bone Ligaments attach bone to bone
What is the term for the point of attachment where muscle connects to the bone it moves?
A tendon connects bone to muscle and a ligament connects bone to bone. The actual point of attachment where a muscle connects to a bone is called the process(n) of the bone. This is a bulge in the bone where muscle can attach to provide movement. Not all muscles will attach to bone via a bony process as described above, it may can sometimes by a fleshy attachment (e.g. sternocleidomastoid to clavicle). So broader terms are simple origin and insertion, origin being the attachment that tends to be fixed and insertion being the attachment that tends to move when the muscle is contracted.
Do tendons attach to muscle and muscle attaches to bone?
Tendons attach muscle to bone, muscles do not attach to bone.
What connective tissue attached bone to bone?
Tendons attach to MUSCLE TO BONE. Ligaments attach BONE TO BONE.
What types of muscles and bones do ligaments attach?
Ligaments attach bones to bones, providing stability and support to joints. They do not attach to muscles directly.
What is muscle attachment and function?
Origin and Insertion One of the points of attachment is the ORIGIN (typically the non-moving point of attachment). The other point of attachment is the INSERTION (typically the moving point of attachment). For example - when the brachialis muscle (located on the upper arm) contracts - it shortens the distance between the origin (on the humerus - the upper arm bone and the insertion (on the radius - the forearm bone). The humerus does not move, but the radius does move - it moves closer to the humerus.
What do ligaments attach?
bone to bone
