    • Levers - a rigid bar or object that moves around a fixed fulcrum with two forces applied to it
    • fulcrum - a fixed pivot point
      • Effort - the source of energy that will do the work
        • Load - the weight/ resistance to be moved
    • the muscular and skeletal system create levers around every joint
      • levers allow us to move. The joint acts as the fulcrum. The effort comes from contracting muscles; and load is the body part being moved.
