  2. Nov 8, 2018 · The origin of the muscle is the point of attachment of the muscle, which does not move during the contraction. On the other hand, the insertion is the point of attachment of the muscle, which moves during the contraction. Also, the origin occurs more proximal to the centre of the body while the insertion occurs more proximal to the centre of ...

  3. Conventionally, a muscle origin describes the attachment of a muscle on the more stable bone. The insertion then, is the attachment of a muscle on the more moveable bone. The action of the muscle describes what happens when the more mobile bone is brought toward the more stable bone during a muscular contraction.

  4. Each muscle has an origin and an insertion point. Muscle origins and insertions can be described as the anchor end [ origin ] and the most mobile end [ insertion ] when the muscle shortens. A muscle’s origin is usually at the attachment of its tendon to the bone with greater mass and stability.

  5. Mar 20, 2021 · They describe the position of a structure with reference to its origin – proximal means closer to its origin, distal means further away. Examples: The wrist joint is distal to the elbow joint. The scaphoid lies in the proximal row of carpal bones. The knee joint is proximal to the ankle joint.

  7. If the place is a bone that remains immobile for an action, the attachment is called an origin. If the place is on the bone that moves during the action, the attachment is called an insertion. The triceps brachii happens to have four points of attachment: one insertion on the ulna and three origins (two on the humerus and one on the scapula).

  8. 8. Origin: Inferior border of rib cage (Inferior costal aperture) Insertion: Central tendon. Action: Contraction increases intra-thoracic space thereby decreasing intra-thoracic pressure. 9. Origin: External, inferior borders of ribs. Insertion: Linea alba and iliac crest. Action: Flexes spine at the hip; compresses abdomen.
