So Levers is a simple mechanism which allows movements 

to take place. (Insert pic

habang nagtalk. yung 1st pic na na send). This can be found in our body and levers in
our body are formed from bones(insert pic), joints(insert pic.) and muscles.( insert
pic.)

●Now levers can be categorized in 3 different ways:

The first thing is the first class levers, we have the second class levers and the third
class levers. These 3 levers are different in the position of the fulcrum, effort and the
load, but they have similar features, all class levers will have a fulcrum, effort and the
load.
- Fulcrum. This being the side of our joint with turning point, when the movement is
actually being allowed.
- Then we have also the Effort. It could be the muscle which allows the energy for the
movements to take place.
- And finally the Load. This being the bony part which means to be moved in order
for its to be effective movement.

●Now lets have a look about levers for more details

>First class levers. This structure is in the middle of the effort and the load. This type
of lever can be found in the neck when you're raising your head to head a football.
The effort is the neck muscles and the load will be the weight of the head.

> Second class levers. We have the load in the middle between the fulcrum and the
effort. This type of lever is found in the ankle area. When standing on tiptoe, the ball
of the foot acts as the fulcrum, the weight of the body acts as the load and the effort
comes from the contraction of the gastrocnemius muscle. This second class lever is
used when taking off for a jump or pushing against the blocks in a sprint start.

>Third class levers. The effort is in the middle between the fulcrum and the load.
During a biceps curl, the fulcrum is the elbow joint, the effort comes from the biceps
contracting and the resistance is the weight of the forearm and any weight that it
may be holding.

Levers can have Mechanical Advantage and Mechanical Disadvantage

●How do we work out mechanical advantage? So mechanical advantage is the effort
arm divided by the resistance or the load arm so if you look at this diagram
here( iinsert na ang picture, yung ika 8th na na send), everything is measured from
the fulcrum.  So we've got a effort arm which is going on one direction we got the
load arm or some might call it the resistance arm which is then obviously going
slightly other direction so we're just measuring the difference. Now if you think
about the first class lever, the focus is in the middle, so therefore they could be the
same distance apart but one could be closer or the other one might be closer,  so if
we're dividing the effort arm by the resistance arm and by that we mean the
distance thats how we calculate mechanical advantage. So this why you are able to
lift your entire body weight on your gastrocnemius(iinsert ang pic nga ika 9th gi send)
because the effort arm is so much longer than the load arm because its further away
from the fulcrum. Now a third class levers ( insert nasab pic. ika10th gi nga gi
send)sadly always have a mechanical disadvantage because the effort arm is shorter
than the load arm, so basically the effort is closest to the fulcrum than the load is.
