Q

Synarthroses

Four major types:

A

Suture: Located in the bones of the skull

Q

There are three classes of levers found in the human body:

A

1) First-Class Lever: The fulcrum lies between the applied force and the resistance (e.g triceps insertion at the elbow)
2) Second-Class Lever: The resistance is located between the applied force and the fulcrum (e.g. plantar flexors inserion at the ankle)
3) Third-Class Lever: A force is applied between the applied force and the fulcrum (e.g. biceps insertion at the elbow)
