What does 'insertion' refer to?

  1. Detachment of muscle

  2. Fixed attachment to a bone

  3. Brain signal to muscle

  4. Attached end to another muscle or movable bone

The correct answer is: Attached end to another muscle or movable bone

Insertion refers to the point of attachment of a muscle that is attached to the movable bone or muscle. Option A is incorrect because detachment of muscle would be the opposite of an insertion point. Option B refers to the origin of the muscle, which is the fixed attachment to a bone. Option C is incorrect because it refers to a completely different process of muscle movement, involving brain signals rather than points of attachment. Therefore, option D is the best answer choice.
