31.

A lever consists of a rigid structure (bone), a force acting upon it (muscle) to produce a turning movement (angular motion), a fulcrum which is a fixed point (joint), and a load or resistance that is placed on the rigid structure (weight of body part being moved and anything that it is carrying).
