Muscle Spindle & Stretch Reflex || Knee Jerk Reflex
Показать описание
Video Summary:
The muscle spindle is a sensory organ to sense the length of the muscle. It is made up of intrafusal fibers which are of two types: nuclear bag fibers and nuclear chain fibers. Their mid-portion is sensory and is innervated primarily by type Ia fiber. The ends are contractile and are innervated by gamma motor neurons. Upon sudden stretching of the muscle, the spindle sends a signal to the spinal cord. Here the sensory neuron directly stimulates the α motor neuron resulting in reflex contraction of the same muscle. This stretch reflex prevents sudden changes in muscle length.
