Q

What is Skeletal Muscle?

A

‘voluntary muscle’ Muscles that you think about contracting and then the nervous system tells them to do so. Anchored to bone via tendons and is designed to generate skeletal movement

Q

What does the Muscle Spindle Stretch Receptor do?

A

When a muscle stretches, the muscle spindle
that sends a signal to the spinal cord which in turn sends a message to the muscle to contract and resist
the stretch.
