French term or phrase: Lieu d'insertion
Rebonjour,

Toujours sur la traduction de cours de physiologie.
cette fois, le terme pour lequel j'ai du mal et ne suis pas du tout sûre de moi est "lieu d'insertion". Voici le contexte :

"Le sommet est orienté vers le bas et c'est le lieu d'insertion du ligament rotulien"

merci de votre aide !!

18 janv. 2018 - Anatomy of the Knee. The patella tendon is located just below the patella (knee cap). It has attachments on the patella and the tibial tuberosity on the tibia (shin bone). The role of the patella tendon is to transfer the force of the quadriceps muscles, much like a rope around a pulley, as your knee straightens.

Introduction. Quadriceps femoris is a four-headed muscle that inserts onto the tibial tuberosity. It extends the knee, and one head (rectus femoris) flexes the hip. The patella is a sesamoid bone that lies within the quadriceps tendon. The patellar tendon connects the apex of the patella to the tibial tuberosity, and improves the ...

neutral  Daryo: by trying to add more than what's in the ST you made a mistake: the "Tibial Tuberosity" is part of the tibia, while the "lieu d'insertion" in this ST is on the patella - the other end of this same ligament.

Reference: Origin and Insertion

Reference information:
Origin and Insertion

Most skeletal muscle is attached to bone on its ends by way of what we call tendons. As the muscles contract, they exert force on the bones, which help to support and move our body along with its appendages.

In most cases, one end of the muscle is fixed in its position, while the other end moves during contraction. The origin is the attachment site that doesn't move during contraction, while the insertion is the attachment site that does move when the muscle contracts.

The insertion is usually distal, or further away, while the origin is proximal, or closer to the body, relative to the insertion. For example, one could say the wrist is distal to the elbow. Conversely, you can say the elbow is proximal to the wrist.

Muscular contraction produces an action, or a movement of the appendage. We will use examples to describe how the origin and insertion affect the action of a skeletal muscle.
