Document Summary

Slide 2 muscle anatomy: skeletal muscles: function as levers. Cells of muscles are part of a functional level system. Levers have 3 components: load, fulcrum, effort. We can arrange these 3 components in levers in a number of ways to generate different kinds of levers. First class lever has a fulcrum on the centre, and the effort and load on the sides: a non-biological example of this is scissors. Second class lever has a fulcrum on one end, effort on the other, and load in the middle: non-biological example is the wheel barrel. A biological example is standing up on your tip-toes or jumping. The fulcrum is at the joint between your toes and foot, the load is every part of the body, and the effort is the muscle on the base of the heel. Third class levers have the fulcrum at one end, load in the other end, and effort in the middle: non-biological example is tweezers.
