Answer:

A. Insertion of the muscle

Explanation:

Skeletal muscles are made up of hundreds of elongated cells known as muscle fibers. These fibers are composed of actin and myosin, proteins with contraction capacity and which form thin and thick filaments, respectively.

When a muscle contracts and shortens, one of its extremities usually remains fixed, while the other (more mobile) end is pulled towards it, resulting in movement.

The insertion is the distal end of the muscle that moves during contraction, ie it is the end attached to the bone that moves (moving point).

What are the adaptive immune responses induced following acute and chronic infection with HIV?
Zolol [24]

The early immune response to HIV-1 infection is likely to be an important factor in determining the clinical course of disease. Recent data indicate that the HIV-1 quasispecies that arise following a mucosal infection are usually derived from a single transmitted virus. Moreover, the finding that the first effective immune responses drive the selection of virus escape mutations provides insight into the earliest immune responses against the transmitted virus and their contributions to the control of acute viraemia. Strong innate and adaptive immune responses occur subsequently but they are too late to eliminate the infection. In this Review, we discuss recent studies on the kinetics and quality of early immune responses to HIV-1 and their implications for developing a successful preventive HIV-1 vaccine.
