Skeletal muscles are attached to the bones by the ________, from ________ to ________. a. fascia . . . origin . . . insertion b. tendons . . . origin . . . insertion c. myofibrils . . . origin . . . tendons d. smooth muscles . . . insertion . . . origin
Choose two of the major muscles or muscle groups. Using correct terminology and with reference to insertion and origin points, describe how the muscle originates proximally and inserts distally to cause a movement at the joints that are crossed What types of movement does this create, and what are some actions that involve the use of these movements? Give another example of when the movement would be used during physical activity, sports and/or everyday life.
