Note
A regular plural, but it does not stretch evenly across every use of insertion. The act of inserting, taken as a process, has no plural. The -s form counts separate things instead: passages added to a text, the points where muscles attach to the bones they move, or nucleotides added to a chromosome by mutation. Read the context to know which kind of thing is being counted.
