Insertion Point Muscle. Post by The_dog_mom Wed May 25 2011 1100 pm The location of the connection determines the leverage the muscle can exert on the limb so it affects strength potential. An example is the bicep which originates at the scapula and inserts at the radial tuberocity on the radius.
Insertion is the muscle connection to the active part which moves. Also calves are easy to tell. Moves thumb toward body.
An example is the bicep which originates at the scapula and inserts at the radial tuberocity on the radius.
The insertion is usually distal or further away while the origin is proximal or closer to the body relative to the insertion. In anatomy an insertion describes the point of attachment in a muscle where more movement occurs. The origin of the pectoralis major includes the clavicle sternum the costal cartilage of the upper ribs and the aponeurosis of the external obliques. You either have long calves or short calves.
