The fulcrum is the point of the lever where a change in motion will occur. There are 3 types of levers that are illustrated at this URL (http://i1131.Photobucket.com/albums/m554/skyop22/Answers%20Pictures/levers.gif). The three types will distribute the load differently based on where the fulcrum is.

The joint axis in the human body acts as the fulcrum. Similarly the bones function as levers and the weight of the body acts as the resistance.

It is the pivot point around which the lever rotates. Usually the fulcrum is thought of as a fixed point. It might be, or it might be built into the lever.

Used in conjunction with a lever, the fulcrum is used to lift or move heavy objects. Unless you mean 'the teeter-totter'...

The fulcrum is the pivoting point of a lever, where the lever gets purchase. The fulcrum on a wheelbarrow is the wheel at the front.
