Muscle Attachments Most skeletal muscles run from one bone to another. Most muscles are attached to bones by tendons or aponeuroses
Muscle Attachments Origin = Point of attachment of a muscle that is least movable Insertion = point of attachment of a muscle that is most movable
Muscle Attachments: Connective Tissues Tendons Aponeuroses
Interactions of Skeletal Muscles in the Body Muscles can exert a pull but not a push. Thus, muscles are typically arranged in pairs: one pulls a bone in one direction and the other pulls it in the opposite direction.
Interactions of Skeletal Muscles Prime mover (agonist) – has major responsibility for a certain movement Antagonist – opposes or reverses a movement Synergist – helps the prime mover
