| 1. | This is because vibrations stimulate muscle spindles in the calf muscles.
|
| 2. | The afferent of the muscle spindle bifurcates in the spinal cord.
|
| 3. | These neurons also play a role in adjusting the sensitivity of muscle spindles.
|
| 4. | Muscle spindle derived GDNF neurotrophic factors must also be present for postnatal survival.
|
| 5. | The imbalance causes an inaccurate reading from muscle receptors in the muscle spindle.
|
| 6. | Gamma motor neurons assist in keeping the muscle spindle taut, thus adjusting sensitivity.
|
| 7. | When a muscle lengthens, the muscle spindle is stretched and its nerve activity increases.
|
| 8. | This process maintains the tautness of muscle spindles and is called alpha gamma co-activation.
|
| 9. | Without gamma motor neurons, muscle spindles would be very loose as the muscle contracts more.
|
| 10. | The parallel pulling keeps muscle spindles taut and readily able to detect minute changes in stretch.
