All muscles exert their force by pulling between at least two points of attachment. The movement that results from contraction is called the action of the muscle. Typically, one attachment remains stationary and is called the origin and the other attachment moves and is called the insertion. Almost all muscles cross at least one joint (moveable connection between two bones) and cause an action across that joint.
This is the driving force of muscle contraction. Contraction is turned off by the following sequence of events: (9) Acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction is broken down by acetylcholinesterase, and this terminates the stream of action potentials along the muscle fiber surface.
