Stimulation of muscle spindles

Muscle Spindles in Phasic and Tonic Muscle.

Comparisons were made of muscle spindle structure between phasic and tonic muscles stained by the gold chloride method. The most significant difference was in the ring diameter of the sensory nerve terminals wrapped around the nuclear bags. In tibialis anterior it was largest, in gastrocnemius intermediate, and in soleus smallest. This order corresponds to the contraction time, tibialis anterio...

The effects of temporary ischaemia on rat muscle spindles.

Soleus muscle of adult rat is revascularized 5-8 days after sectioning the supplying blood vessels. The temporary ischaemia thus produced results in the rapid concomitant degeneration of extra- and intrafusal muscle fibres along with their nerve terminals and supplying axons. The basal lamina of all muscle fibres usually remains intact throughout the degenerative phase. Necrotic sarcoplasm is r...
