Question 7

T/F
Gamma gain compares length of extrafusal muscle fibers in relation to length of intrafusal muscle fibers in the spindle.

Answer 7

True

Question 8

What causes a muscle spasm in relation to gamma gain?

Answer 8

If the set gamma gain is inconsistent with the expected movement, too much input may arrive at the CNS, causing CNS confusion, leading to spasm.

Question 9

T/F
Turning down gamma gain makes the muscle more sensitive to stertch.

Answer 9

False
Turning up gamma gain makes the muscle more sensitive to stretch.
