1 TERMS RELATING TO MUSCLES Muscles attach to at least two bones. Origin-the attachment of a muscle to the less movable bone. Usually near the axial skeleton. Insertion-the attachment of a muscle to the more movable bone. Usually near the appendicular skeleton. Action-the movement produced by a muscle.

2 Movements at Muscles Movements require at least two muscles that work together. Prime Mover-the muscle that produces a desired action. This muscle contracts. Antagonist-the muscle that relaxes during a muscle contraction. Synergists-steady the movements of prime mover.
