What's the difference between gastrocnemius and insertion?
Gastrocnemius
Definition:
(n.) The muscle which makes the greater part of the calf of the leg.
Example Sentences:

(10) There was a high correlation between the percentage of type I fibers and the citrate synthase activity within the vastus lateralis (r = .760) and deltoid (r = .610) (P less than 0.05) but not the gastrocnemius (r = .200).
(11) Muscle samples were obtained from the gastrocnemius of 17 female and 23 male track athletes, 10 untrained women, and 11 untrained men.
(12) In order to study the functional interaction between dopamine, acetylcholine and gamma-aminobutyrate within the rat neostriatum, we investigated the effect of intrastriatal injection of different drugs acting on these transmitter systems on muscle tone measured as tonic activity in the electromyogram of the gastrocnemius muscle.
(13) EtOH alone affected Rg only in gastrocnemius muscle (30% decrease) and adipose tissue (twofold increase).
(14) Respiratory-depressant effects of these antibiotics were more closely associated temporally with effects on soleus than on gastrocnemius twitch.
(15) Collaborative studies showed that significant alterations in muscle mass and metabolic and mechanical properties occurred and persisted in spite of the recovery of activation in the soleus and medial gastrocnemius.
(16) We have studied the physiology of primary sensory neurons innervating rat hindlimb muscle in the following: 1) normal control animals; 2) animals in which the gastrocnemius nerve (Gn) had regenerated to its original muscle target; and 3) animals in which the cutaneous sural nerve (Sn) had regenerated to a foreign target, muscle.
(17) Similar insensitivity to the temporal pattern of the afferent input was found when the motoneurones were excited via two separate channels, one being the pulsed mechanical stimulation of soleus, the other being the weak electrical stimulation of the nerve to the medial head of gastrocnemius; altering the relative timing of the two sets of stimuli had little effect on the myographic result.
(18) Conduction was measured in motor nerves supplying tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius muscles and sensory saphenous nerve.
(19) DNA concentration increased while protein:DNA decreased in the gastrocnemius muscle and RNA:DNA increased in the longissimus dorsi.
(20) Collection of EMGs of soleus, lateral gastrocnemius, vastus medialis and rectus femoris lasted for 200 msec after stimulation, which was triggered when the pedal was 56 degrees beyond top-dead-center.
Insertion
Definition:
(n.) The act of inserting; as, the insertion of scions in stocks; the insertion of words or passages in writings.
(n.) The condition or mode of being inserted or attached; as, the insertion of stamens in a calyx.
(n.) That which is set in or inserted, especially a narrow strip of embroidered lace, muslin, or cambric.
(n.) The point or part by which a muscle or tendon is attached to the part to be moved; -- in contradistinction to its origin.
Example Sentences:
(1) We have examined the insertion of bovine 17 alpha-hydroxylase (P45017 alpha) into the endoplasmic reticulum of COS 1 cells to evaluate the functional role of its hydrophobic amino-terminal sequence and membrane insertion.
(2) This sling was constructed bu freeing the insertion of the pubococcygeus and the ileococcygeus muscles from the coccyx.
(3) Average fluoroscopy time per procedure was 27.8 minutes of which 15.1 minutes were for nephrostomy tube insertion and 12.7 minutes were for calculi extraction.
(4) The insertions of the sternocleidomastoid, the splenius capitis, the longissimus capitis and the obliquus capitis superior muscles were measured.
(5) The mean histamine level in the first 10-min sample following probe insertion was 39.4 nM.
(6) This unusual insertion could affect the interaction of cat CD4 with class II molecules, or with FIV, a feline homolog of HIV.
(7) It is concluded that selection against insertional mutations is unlikely to be the major factor involved in the containment of element abundance.
(8) We have examined the in vitro membrane assembly characteristics of a variety of leader peptidase mutants and found that domains required for insertion in vivo are also necessary for insertion in vitro.
