Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Origin and Insertion The origin is the attachment site that doesn’t move during contraction, while the insertion is the attachment site that does move when the muscle contracts.
Detailed explanation-2: -A skeletal muscle attaches to bone (or sometimes other muscles or tissues) at two or more places.
