Tendons attach muscle to bone at both the origin and insertion sites.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is true. Tendons are strong, fibrous connective tissues that connect muscles to bones, allowing the muscles to move the bones they are attached to. Tendons attach to both the muscle's origin (the point of attachment on the bone that does not move during muscle contraction) and insertion (the point of attachment on the bone that moves during muscle contraction).
