When a skeletal muscle contracts to cause a given movement, the more movable end of attachment of the muscle is termed its. origin. insertion. antagonist. synergist. When a muscle contracts, it usually has an opposing muscle that can cause movement in the opposite direction.
All muscles exert their force by pulling between at least two points of attachment. The movement that results from contraction is called the action of the muscle. Typically, one attachment remains stationary and is called the origin and the other attachment moves and is called the insertion. Almost all muscles cross at least one joint (moveable connection between two bones) and cause an action across that joint.
