The neck is 1st class lever because the neck is between the head and body
Lever belongs to the category of simple machines. They are three types of levers 1. First class levers 2. Second class levers 3. Third class levers In the first class levers fulcrum is in between applied force and load. common examples are Crowbar , Pair of scissors , SeeSaw , Skull and neck in our body .
the crowbar is a simple lever. the fulcrum is the round neck. it works like a teeteer-totter, where the kid going down on one end is what pushes up the kids on the other end. the neck is closer to the work and the handles sticks out a much further distance, this gives you the mechanical advantage.(:
The neck column is made up of the 7 Cervical Verebrae.
i believe it is rather body heat running up your neck or a guardian angel
The neck is 1st class lever because the neck is between the head and body
first class
aids in flexion of the head and the neck
Happens that i am working on this right this moment in class, here you go, there are also some websites that our teacher gave us that can help to explain this: http://www.peworld.org/student_resources/powerpoint/levers/sld001.htm http://www.dynamicscience.com.au/tester/solutions/hydraulicus/humanbody.htm http://www.science-class.net/Anatomy/Support/Bones%20as%20levers.pdf Part of the body Type of Simple Machine Forearm 3rd class lever Legs 3rd class lever Head & Neck 1st class lever Foot (when walking) 2nd class lever Hand 3rdclass lever
flexion and lateral rotation of the neck
Individually rotation of the head to the opposite side. Together , flexion of the neck.
Flexor spasms involve flexion of the neck, trunk, and extremities. Extensor spasms consist of extension of the neck, trunk, and extremities

Sternocleidomastoid and the Scalenes are Synergists, which mean that they work together to provide the same movements (flexion, rotation and lateral flexion of the head and neck)An Antagonist is a muscle that does the opposite movements. In this case, Antagonists of the Scalenes would be your posterior neck muscles, such as:Upper TrapeziusSplenius CapitusSplenius CervicisSemispinalis Capitis, etc
1st class levers are levers which have fulcrum between the load and effort.1st class lever in our body is our elbow joint .fulcrum:elboweffort:bicepsload:armarm and head

Lateral flexion usually refers to the spine, or vertebral column. You can laterally flex your head, neck, or your torso (back). =answer= Lateral direction is away from the midline of the body (an imaginary line from the middle of your node to your belly button). Flexion is the opposite to extension where the angle between anterior surfaces is decreased (as you being then closer together by 'bending') - except for the knee where the opposite is true. Lateral flexion is therefore a combination of there two movements.
