There are two ends of attachment of skeletal muscle. The "origin", and the "insertion". The "insertion" end refers to the end which is attached to a moveable bone which this muscle will move when it is contracted. The "origin" end is usually the most distal attachment (in appendicular skeleton) this is the bone that the muscle attaches to, and DOES NOT MOVE. Example. Biceps brachii. Origin- connection to the humeral head Insertion- radius/ulna summary- contract your biceps muscle, and your radius and ulna will move. not your shoulder. The end.

Name the insertion of the primary muscle used?
The deltoid muscle is muscle used to move your arm. The deltoid's insertion is at the deltoid tuberosity of humerus. The deltoid is responsible for flexion and medial rotation of the humerus.
Where muscles ends that is the more movable end or portion away from the midline?
muscle origin
Muscle that is NOT striped and is involuntary is?
Skeletal
Is cardiac skeletal or smooth muscle found in chicken wings?
Skeletal (voluntary) and smooth (involuntary) muscles can be found in a chicken wing. Cardiac muscle is not found in a chicken wing because cardiac muscle is found in the heart.
What type of muscle is a chicken leg?
Cardiac muscle.
What is the nonmoveable end of skeletal muscle?
origin
What is the movable point to which a muscle may be attached?
The "movable" end of a muscle is called the insertion. The "immobile" end is called the origin. Shortening, or contraction, of a muscle causes the origin and insertion to become closer to one another.
The bone to be moved not fixed by a skeletal muscle serves as the?
Insertion, as opposed to the origin
What muscle is the lesser moving part?
There are two points of attachment for a (skeletal) muscle, the origin and the insertion. The origin is the immovable (or slightly movable) part. The insertion moves towards the origin.
What is the end of the muscle that is attached to the movable bone and moves when a skeletal muscle contracts?
Insertion point, which most probably is a tendon.
What is the relationship between origin insertion and action of the skeletal muscles?
The end of the muscle that is attached to the stationary bone is the point of origin. The muscle end that is attached to the moving bone is the point of insertion, and the action is what the muscle actually does.
Name the two points of attachment for the skeletal muscle?
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.
What are the skeletal muscle interactions?
Skeletal muscles work together or in opposition Muscles only pull (never push) As muscles shorten, the insertion generally moves toward the origin Whatever a muscle (or group of muscles) does, another muscle (or group) "undoes"
Type of muscle that is voluntary and striated?
SKELETAL (:
What muscle moves bones?
There are three types of muscle in your body: striated, smooth and cardiac. The striated muscle is also called skeletal muscle and it is this type of muscle that moves your joints. Skeletal muscles are attached by tendons to the bones that they act on.
What muscle tissue is multinucleated?
skeletal muscles
Which muscle is not directly controlled by the autonomic nervous system?
smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and most glands
