Why are triangular muscles also called convergent muscles?
Fascicles converge into a narrow or a single point of tendon

Bipennate
Example of a bipennate
Rectus femoris
Fascicles insert on multiple tendons towards a common tendon
Multipennate
Example of a multipennate
Deltoid

head
Muscles of attachment sites
Origin
Insertion
Origin vs insertion
ORIGIN
- Point of attachment that do not move when muscles contract
- More stationary when contraction occurs
INSERTION
- Point of attachment that moves
- Moves toward the origin bone when the muscle shortens
Muscle categories of the head and neck
