In the human body, the biceps - muscle of the arm is part of a Class 3 lever system. In a Class 3 lever, the effort is between the fulcrum and the load. When the biceps contracts to lift a load (such as holding an object in the hand), the elbow joint acts as the fulcrum, the biceps muscle applies the effort, and the weight in the hand is the load.
