Example of a first class lever?
Sternocleidomastoid
Example of a second class lever?
Standing on balls of feet
Example of a third class lever?
Picking something up with hand
Bear arms compared to humans
In bears the biceps tendon inserts further down (distally) on the forearm, resulting in very strong but relatively slower flexion

Forms of muscle action
- Isometric
- Concentric
- Eccentric
Isometric
- No movement
- Gravity=resistance
Concentric
Force generated by muscle exceeds force of gravity
Eccentric
- Muscle relaxes; force generated becomes less than gravity
- Gravity pulls limb down as muscle resistance decreases
