Transcript text: How many insertion points can a muscle have?
a) None
b) More than one
c) Only two
d) Only one
Solution
The answer is b) More than one.
Explanation for each option:
a) None: This is incorrect. All muscles have at least one insertion point where they attach to a bone or another structure.
b) More than one: This is correct. Some muscles can have more than one insertion point. For example, the biceps brachii muscle has two insertion points on the radius and the bicipital aponeurosis.
c) Only two: This is incorrect. While some muscles may have two insertion points, others can have more or fewer.
d) Only one: This is incorrect. While many muscles have a single insertion point, it is not universally true for all muscles.
In summary, muscles can have more than one insertion point, making option b the correct choice.
