Summary Introduction
Summary:
Suppose a person abducts the arm by holding a weight. The abduction happens because the deltoid muscle inserts into the deltoid tuberosity of the humerus (shoulder bone). A laboratory skeleton is chosen to identify the fulcrum, measure the effort and resistance arms, determine the mechanical advantage of abduction, and also to determine which type of lever the upper limb belongs when performing abduction.

Discuss the functions of the different types of levers found in our body. How do these different types of levers make our body more useful. Explain each type of lever, the position of the fulcrum, load, and applied force and give an example of each.
Consider the movements of plantar flexion and dorsiflexion. Propose a reason why there are far more (and stronger) muscles involved in plantar flexion?
An isometric exercise is one in which the joint angle does not change during the application of muscle force. For instance, you can join your hands together, pushing down with one hand and pushing up with the other. In each arm, the muscles that provide the force are connected to the bones of the arm by tendons. If you increase the forces but keep the angles the same, the muscles will still contract. Explain how this is possible.
