Which receptor run in collegen ground substance
RuffiniPacinian
Site and function of ruffini corpuscle
Site Dermis of palm and sole parallel to skin surfaceFunctionFor pressure sensationDetect tension of collagenous fibers in the surrounding ct
Which type of Motor fibers (efferent) supply muscle spindles
Small gamma fibers
Structure of muscle spindle
Bag 1-4 in number (few) thich & long, the central part is expanded and contains numerous nucleiChain up to 10 (numerous) thin & short, the central part is narrow & contains a chain of nuclei
Sensory innervation of muscle spindle
Primary afferent (Annulospiral )On the central - non contrcatile - part of bort bag and chain Secondary afferent (flower) On the sides of annulospiral (central part ) of nuclear chain only
Motor innervation of muscle spindle
Small gamma fibers from peripheral - contractile - part of both.
Golgi tendon organ innervation
NO motor innervationSensory :primary afferent
