For a Class 1 lever the pivot lies between the effort

and the load. A see saw in a playground is an example of a Class 1 lever where the effort balances the load.
The place where your skull meets the top of your spine is a Class 1 lever. Your skull is the lever arm and the neck muscles at the back of the skull provide the force (effort) to lift your head up against the weight of the head (load). When the neck muscles relax, your head nods forward.

FIRST CLASS LEVER

SECOND CLASS LEVER
For the Class 2 lever the load is between

the pivot and the effort (like a wheelbarrow). The effort force needed is less than the load force, so there is a mechanical advantage.
Standing on tip toes is a Class 2 lever. The pivot is at your toe joints and your foot acts as a lever arm. Your calf muscles and achilles tendon provide the effort when the calf muscle contracts. The load is your body weight and is lifted by the effort (muscle contraction).

For a Class 3 lever the load is further away from

the pivot than the effort. There is no mechanical advantage because the effort is greater than the load. However this disadvantage is compensated with a larger movement. This type of lever system also gives us the advantage of a much greater speed of movement. A bent arm is a Class 3 lever. The pivot is at the elbow and the forearm acts as the lever arm. The biceps muscle provides the effort (force) and bends the forearm against the weight of the forearm and any weight that the hand might be holding.

The theory of how muscle contracts is the sliding filament theory.

The contraction of a muscle occurs as the thin filament slide past the thick filaments. The sliding filament theory involves five different molecules plus calcium ions. The five molecules are: myosin, actin, tropomyosin, troponin, and ATP.

Phases of a Muscle Twitch
A muscle twitch is contraction of a muscle in

response to a stimulus that causes an action potential in one or more muscle fibers. Even though the normal function of muscles is more complex, an understanding of the muscle twitch makes the function of muscles in living organisms easier to comprehend.
