Respond to the following: anatomy

The bones and joints within the human body are complex and very important to movement. They work as coordinated systems, much like machines.

What are two simple machines or devices that remind you of different mechanisms within the human body’s skeletal and articular systems? Mention the part of the human body, what machine or other device it reminds you of, and how the body part and machine or device are similar. You might take a particular joint and relate it to a type of simple machine. The action that a muscle produces when it pulls on a bone, for example, is similar to a simple machine called a lever.
