MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -1. Muscles Attach to Bones At Locations Called Origins and Insertions. A skeletal muscle attaches to bone (or sometimes other muscles or tissues) at two or more places. If the place is a bone that remains immobile for an action, the attachment is called an origin.

Detailed explanation-2: -Muscle origin refers to a muscle’s proximal attachment-the end of the muscle closest to the torso. For example, the bicep muscle’s origin is located at the shoulder.

Detailed explanation-3: -Overview. A tendon is a fibrous connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone. Tendons may also attach muscles to structures such as the eyeball. A tendon serves to move the bone or structure.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vertebrate tendons. The tendons integrate with the muscle and skeletal tissues through specialized structures termed the myotendinous junction and the enthesis, respectively, that provide flexible but robust and resilient anchor points.
