Muscle spindles are proprioceptive organs located within skeletal muscles that provide feedback about muscle length and rate of stretch. They contain specialized muscle fibers called intrafusal fibers innervated by both sensory (Ia afferent) and motor (γ efferent) neurons. Golgi tendon organs are located near muscle-tendon junctions and provide feedback about muscular force levels during contraction or stretch. Together, muscle spindles and Golgi tendon organs help regulate muscle tone and initiate stretch reflexes.

Muscle spindles are proprioceptors that consist of intrafusal muscle fibers enclosed in a sheath (spindle). They run parallel to the extrafusal muscle fibers and act as receptors that provide information on muscle length and the rate of change in muscle length. The spindles are stretched when the muscle lengthens. This stretch causes the sensory neuron in the spindle to transmit an impulse to the spinal cord, where it synapses with alpha motor neurons. This causes activation of motor neurons that innervate the muscle. The muscle spindles determine the amount of contraction necessary to overcome a given resistance. When the resistance increases, the muscle is stretched further, and this causes spindle fibers to activate a greater muscle contraction.

Animal physiology and anatomy muscular systemSijo A
Muscle is a soft tissue found in most animals.
They are primarly responsible for maintaining and changing posture,locomotion as well as movement of internal organs.
They are derived from the mesodermal layer of embryonic germ cells in a process known as myogenesis.
Based on locomotion three types of muscles are identified.

3. MUSCLE SPINDLE
DEFINITION :
Muscle spindle is a spindle shaped
proprioceptor situated in the skeletal
muscle. It is formed by modified skeletal
muscle fibers called intrafusal fibers.
5. .
Muscle spindles are specialized sense organs
present in all skeletal muscles in mammals.
They are present in large number in muscles that
serve fine movements and are also found in
good number in muscles involved in control of
posture, especially the muscles rich in slow twitch
fiber types.
Muscle spindles are the receptors that respond to
change in muscle length and the velocity of
lengthening.
6. STRUCTURE OF MUSCLE SPINDLE
About 2 to 12 fibers are present in a muscle
spindle.
Each muscle spindle is enclosed in a connective
tissue capsule.
The muscle spindle is about 100 µm in diameter
and 5 to 10 mm in length.
7. It lies in parallel to the regular muscle fibers and
their distal ends are attached to the tendon of the
muscle or to the sides of extrafusal fibers
This parallel arrangement and special attachment
help the spindle to respond to muscle stretch.
Intrafusal fibers are of two types: the nuclear bag
fibers and the nuclear chain fibers
8. NUCLEAR BAG FIBERS
Nuclear bag fibers are longer than the nuclear chain
fibers . These fibers are called nuclear bag fibers as
they are dilated at their center to form a bag like
structure that contains multiple nuclei.
Usually, two nuclear bag fibers are present in a
spindle: the nuclear bag fiber 1, and the nuclear bag
fiber 2.
The bag fiber 1 has low myosin ATPase activity and
responds best in the dynamic phase of muscle
stretch.
The bag fiber 2 has high myosin ATPase activity and
responds best in the static phase of muscle stretch.
9. NUCLEAR CHAIN FIBERS
These are thinner and shorter fibers.
They are present by the side of the nuclear
bag fiber and do not have a definitive bag.
The nuclei in these fibers are arranged in a
row in the form of a chain, for which they are
called nuclear chain fibers.
Usually, four or more nuclear chain fibers
are present in a spindle.
10. LOCATION OF RECEPTORS
The central noncontractile part of the
muscle spindle contains the receptors,
whereas the peripheral parts contain
contractile elements.
Contractile units are absent in the central
portion. Thus, stretch of the central part of
the spindle activates the muscle spindle.
11. INNERVATION OF MUSCLE SPINDLE
The muscle spindles have both afferent (sensory)
and efferent (motor) innervations.
Afferent Innervation (Sensory Fibers):
Afferent fibers for muscle spindle are Ia and II
fibers. Ia fibers have larger diameter (12 to 20
µm) than type II fibers (6 to 12 µm) and have
faster conduction velocity.
There are two types of sensory endings in each
muscle spindle: the primary endings, and the
secondary endings.
12. Primary Endings :
The primary endings are the terminals of type Ia
afferent fiber.
These are also called annulospiral endings as they
are coiled spirally around the center of the intrafusal
fibers.
Type Ia afferent fiber has two branches. One branch of
Ia fiber terminates on nuclear bag fiber 1, and the
other branch terminates on the nuclear bag fiber 2 and
the nuclear chain fibers.
13. .
Secondary Endings :
The secondary endings are the terminals of type II
afferent fiber.
They are also called flower-spray endings, as they
appear like flowers.
They are usually present on the nuclear chain
fibers.
The secondary endings are located in paracentral
part of the spindle.
14. .
Efferent Innervation (Motor Fibers) :
The spindles are innervated by a separate set of
motor neurons, the γ motor neurons.
They are also called fusimotor fibers.
These are small nerves arising from the anterior horn
cells and are having the diameter of 3–6 µm. They
constitute only about 30% of the fibers in the ventral
root (70% of fibers are α motor neurons).
15. Because of their size and number, they
comprise the small motor nerve system.
The γ motor neurons supply the peripheral
parts of intrafusal fibers.
The terminals of the γ efferent fibers on the
nuclear bag fiber 1 form the plate ending (as
they end on the motor endplates), and on the
nuclear bag fiber 2 and chain fiber form the
trail ending
16.
17. FUNCTION OF THE MUSCLE SPINDLE
The muscle spindle fibers are sensitive to the length
and the velocity of lengthening of the muscle fibers.
They send messages to the brain about the state of
stretch of the muscle fiber.
When the muscle fiber shortens, the spindle stop
sending messages because they are no longer
stretched.
When the signal decreases, the higher centers send a
message to intrafusal muscle fibers in the spindle to
shorten so that they once again are able to respond to
the length change in the muscle spindle.
19. ROLE OF MUSCLE SPINDLE IN THE
MAINTENANCE OF MUSCLE TONE
20. GOLGI TENDON ORGAN
DEFINITION:
Golgi tendon organ is defined as a sensory
organ located near the musculotendinous
junction of extrafusal fibers. Which senses any
change in the tension of the muscle.
LOCATION:
Golgi tendon organs (GTO) are found in the
tendon of the muscles.
21. .
STRUCTURE :
The GTOs are formed by the terminals of the
group Ib afferent fibers
The diameter of GTO is about 100 mm and the
length is about 1 mm. These sensory endings are
arranged in series with that of the muscle fibers.
The Ib fibers originating from GTO terminate
indirectly on a motor neurons via interneurons.
As the interneurons are inhibitory, stimulation of Ib
fibers inhibit the motor neuron activity
22.
23. FUNCTION
Because of their arrangement (in series) with the
muscle, GTO can be activated either by muscle stretch
or by contraction of the muscle.
A strong muscle contraction is a stronger stimulus than
the passive stretch of the muscle . The passive stretch
does not effectively stimulate GTO because the elastic
muscle fibers take up much impact of the stretch.
The afferents from GTO discharge actively in response
to muscle contraction as muscle contraction stretches
the tendon to a greater extent.
24. The actual stimulus for activation of GTO is the
force that develops in the tendon (by muscle
contraction or muscle stretch).
Thus, GTO signals the force of muscle
contraction, whereas the muscle spindle
signals the muscle length. Therefore, GTO
provides the force feedback whereas muscle
spindle provides the length feedback
