fulcrums
Points of rotation
Fulcrums is the plural of fulcrum, the fixed point on which a lever pivots.
The word extends to any central or essential element that supports a system or enables action: The treaty became the fulcrum of postwar diplomacy.
In anatomy, a fulcrum is a joint or structure that acts as a hinge point.
