Q

What are the two types of muscle spindle fibers?

A

nuclear bag fibers (1a) - detect changes in length
nuclear chain fibers (2) - detect static changes
(there are more chain fibers than bag fibers)

52
Q

when afferent 1a spindle cells are activated during a change in muscle length, they activate what neuron up in the spinal cord?

continue sensing changes in length and keeps spindle cells sensitive during contraction.

54
Q

Whats happening In the “knee jerk” reflex with alpha and gamma motor neurons?

A

A strike on the Quadricep tendon activates the alpha motor neurons, which ends up recruiting gamma neurons, which ends up increasing sensitivity and causing even more alpha motor neurons to fire, which cause the entire Quadricep to contract, hence the knee jerk.

Q

The golgi tendon apparatus has large and fast fibers that INHIBIT muscle contraction, why would they do that?

A

To keep muscles from over-contracting causing injury. It can tell the contracted muscle to relax, OR activate an antagonistic muscle.
