How is movement in vertebrates analogous to the movement of a lever?
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: The bones connected by movable joints work like levers. Levers are ridged and move
around a pivot point known as a fulcrum. Levers, like joints, differ with respect to where
the fulcrum is located along the lever and where the force is applied. Whether muscles
produce large movements at high speed is dependent on where the fulcrum is relative to
where the force is applied.
