1 of 13
Fulcrum
The point around which the lever rotates.
2 of 13
Load
The force that is applied by the lever system.
3 of 13
Mechanical Advantage
A large load can be lifted with a relatively small amount of effort.
4 of 13
Mechanical Disadvantage
Third class levers cannot lift as heavy a load with the same amount of effort, due to the position of the effort and load from the fulcrum.
5 of 13
Plane
An imaginary flat surface that divides the body into sections.
6 of 13
Axis (pl.axes)
An imaginary straight line around which something turns.
7 of 13
Sagittal plane
An imaginary line dividing the body vertically into left and right sides.
8 of 13
Frontal Plane
An imaginary line dividing the body vertically from front to back.
9 of 13
Transverse plane
An imaginary line dividing the body horizontally from to to bottom.
10 of 13
Frontal axis
Imaginary line passing horizontally through the body from left to right, allows flexion and extension.
11 of 13
