    Study Notes

    • The text discusses the four fundamental forces in nature: Gravitational Force, Electromagnetic Force, Strong Nuclear Force, and Weak Force.
    • Gravitational Force: an attractive force that exists between all objects, it is the weakest force, and is responsible for holding the moon in orbit.
    • Electromagnetic Force: results from electric charge, gives materials their strength and abilities, and is much larger than gravity.
    • Strong Nuclear Force: holds particles in the nucleus of an atom together, is the strongest force, but only acts over the distance of a nucleus.
    • Weak Force: a form of electromagnetic force involved in radioactive decay of nuclei.
    • In the human body, there are various types of forces: muscular, molecular, electric, and gravitational.
    • Muscular forces help circulate blood and enable the lungs to take in air.
    • Medical effects of gravitational forces include the formation of varicose veins and bone mineral loss when a person becomes weightless.
    • Gravity is a downward force that affects all objects on Earth, including the forces that keep the body in equilibrium (static force) and the forces that accelerate the body (dynamic force).
    • The operation of most skeletal muscles involves the use of leverage and lever systems, where bones are levers, joints are fulcrums, and muscle contraction provides effort.
    • The body's lever systems allow a given effort to move a heavier load, or move a load farther or faster, than it otherwise could.
    • Types of levers include class 1, class 2, and class 3 levers, which differ based on the location of the fulcrum, load, and effort.
    • Class 1 levers have the pivot between the effort and the load, and have mechanical advantages that range from less than 1 to greater than 1.
    • In the human body, the spinal column can be modeled as a pivoted rod, with muscles providing force to move the load (spine).
    • The text discusses various concepts related to levers, including mechanical advantage, disadvantage, and the relationship between lever movement and resistance movement.
