Insertion is the other end of the muscle, attached to the more movable part of the bone. The action, or body, is the thick middle part of the muscle.

Muscle tone, or tonus, is a state of partial contraction that maintains a person’s posture. Isometric contraction does not cause muscle shortening or movement. A twitch is a quick, jerky contraction of a whole muscle from one stimulus. Copyright © 2012, 2007, 2003, 1997, 1991 by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. 15 Muscle Contraction Tetanic contraction is more sustained than a twitch. Fibrillation is uncoordinated contraction of muscle fibers. Convulsions are contractions of groups of muscles in an abnormal manner. Spasms are involuntary, sudden, and prolonged contractions.
