Detailed explanation-1: -Which of these phrases most aptly describes “muscle insertion”? Tendon attachment that moves. Which of these muscles is a member of the quadriceps group?
Detailed explanation-2: -Muscle insertion refers to a muscle’s distal attachment-the end of the muscle furthest away from the torso. For example, the bicep insertion occurs at the elbow.
Detailed explanation-3: -A typical muscle has a central portion (the belly) and two or more attachment ends with tendons. The more stationary of the attachments is called the origin; the more movable attachment is called the 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.
