Statement is true. (The bone from which a skeletal muscle begins is called its origin.)
A muscle has two ends that each attach to bone: the muscle's origin and the muscle's insertion. At both of these points, tendons attach the muscle to bone. Muscle origin refers to a muscle's proximal attachment—the end of the muscle closest to the torso .
The moveable end of the muscle that attaches to the bone being pulled is called the muscle's insertion, and the end of the muscle attached to a fixed (stabilized) bone is called the origin.
