    Tendons, muscles, bones, and joints work together as simple machines in the human body. Tendons and muscles pull on bones, acting as levers with joints as fulcrums, allowing muscles to contract and exert force to bend arms and legs. Teeth also function as simple machines, with incisors shaped like wedges to cut food and flat molars used to grind food.
