Bones
What are anatomical pivots/fulcrums?
Joints
What are anatomical applied forces?

3
What is anatomical load?
The weight of what is being moved
What type of lever is Fulcrum between force and load
First
What type of lever is Force between fulcrum and load
Third
What type of lever is Load between fulcrum and force
Second
What type of lever is head nodding?
First
What type of lever is plantarflexion?
Second
What type of lever is flexion at the elbow joint?
Third
What is parallel arrangement of muscle fibres?
Fibres arranged vertically between muscle tendons/attachments
What is pennate arrangement of muscle fibres?
Fibres arranged obliquely/slanted between muscle tendons/attachments
What are pros and cons of pennate muscle fibres?
Good for tension, has low ROM
What are pros and cons of parallel muscle fibres?
Less tension, high ROM
