Which characteristic best describes fleshy muscle attachment?

A fleshy muscle attachment is characterized by a direct connection to the bone, which means that the muscle fibers are directly attached to the bone tissue itself. This type of attachment allows for a more robust and immediate transfer of force from the muscle to the bone, enabling efficient movement and stability.

In contrast, an indirect connection via a tendon involves muscle fibers attaching to a tendon, which then connects to the bone. While this is a common form of muscle attachment, it does not describe a fleshy attachment.

The option regarding attachment at the joint is not specific enough to qualify as a fleshy muscle attachment, as it does not indicate the nature of the connection to the bone itself.

Lastly, while a flexible connection allowing for movement is a general trait of muscle attachments, it does not specifically define fleshy muscle attachment, which is distinctly characterized by its direct connection to bone rather than flexibility or movement capability.
