Activity “F”: Lever Systems of the Skeletal - Muscular System
Below are diagrams of the three types of lever systems that occur in the human skeletal system. Identify each as
either a 1st class, 2nd class, or 3rd class lever. Next describe where the force (muscle contraction) is applied,
where the fulcrum is located, and where the load is lifted.
Lever Type

Multiplier
Label each of the diagrams below as either class 1, 2, or 3 lever. Label the force, fulcrum, and load on each
diagram. Explain why it is either a force or distance multiplier or why it can be both.
Activity “G”:
Terminology Regarding Muscle Action.
Muscles names usually include a term that describes the type of movement that it creates. Fill in the definition
for each of the terms listed below. Then give an example of a muscle that creates that type of movement and
name the bones that it moves. Table 8.2 on page 191 will help you with this information.

Extensor
Abductor
Adductor
Levator
Depressor
Supinator
Pronator
Sphincter
