  1. A muscle’s origin is usually at the attachment of its tendon to the bone with greater mass and stability. Bones at the origin of a muscle are typically those nearer the axis of the skeleton, proximal. The bone at a muscle’s insertion point is usually lighter and distal. The illustration below displays the origins and insertions of the ...

  2. Muscle origins and insertions describe the places where a muscle attaches on bones. 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 ...

  4. Nov 8, 2018 · The main difference between origin and insertion is that origin is the attachment point of skeletal muscles, which does not move during contraction whereas insertion is the attachment point that moves during contraction. Furthermore, the origin of the skeletal muscles is more proximal while insertion is more distal when considering the location ...

  6. The origin is the fixed attachment, while the insertion moves with contraction. The action, or particular movement of a muscle, can be described relative to the joint or the body part moved ...

  7. Origin is relatively the less movable end of the muscle/tendon that is attached to a bone. Insertion is the more flexible end of the muscle that is usually attached to a bone via tendons. It is the proximal end that is attached to the less movable bone. It is the distal end that is attached to the more movable bone. It has more muscle mass.

  8. Typically a muscle's origin is the more fixed or stable point of attachment to bone, while the insertion is on the bone which moves when contraction or relaxation of that muscle occurs. Usually with the muscles of the limbs we think of the more proximal end of the muscle as being the origin, and the distal end being the insertion, because ...
