What is the more fixed attachment of a muscle to the bone called?

  1. Origin

  2. Insertion

  3. Ligament

  4. Tendon

The correct answer is: Origin

The origin is the more fixed attachment of a muscle to the bone, while the insertion is the more movable attachment. A ligament connects bone to bone and a tendon connects muscle to bone. So, while ligaments and tendons also have attachments to bones, they serve different functions than the origin and insertion of a muscle. Therefore, A is the correct option.
