Understand that muscles have two main attachment points: the origin and the insertion.
The origin is typically the fixed or less movable attachment point of the muscle, often located proximally (closer to the center of the body).
The insertion is the attachment point that moves when the muscle contracts, usually located distally (farther from the center of the body).
Recognize that the term 'distal attachment point' refers to the insertion because it is the point where the muscle exerts force to move a bone or structure.
Therefore, the distal attachment point of a muscle is called the insertion.
